The Birmingham Public Library (BPL) will host several small business seminars in 2016 beginning in April and ending in November that will take place at the Central Library. The small business seminars are being offered by BPL in partnership with the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) and the City of Birmingham’s Office of Economic Development.

Seminar presenters will be veteran mentors from the Birmingham chapter of SCORE, a national nonprofit comprised of volunteers willing to share their business knowledge and experience with prospective entrepreneurs and small business owners. For over 50 years, SCORE mentors have helped millions of business owners start or grow their business.

“7 Ways to Secure Your Business Data” is presented by Sawyer Solutions, a Pelham-based information technology company. The seminar is scheduled on Monday, May 9, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., in the Arrington Auditorium of the Central Library. The same seminar will be offered again on Monday, August 8 and November 14, 2016. 

The seminar is free but advance registration is required. To register, go to the Birmingham SCORE website at www.birmingham.score.org and click on the seminar title in the Upcoming Events section.
