Summary

Do you leverage libraries whilst working? On Crazy Ones podcast this week is Amy Walduck, a librarian and passionate advocate of these public spaces, as well as their many resources. I had no idea I could borrow digital audiobooks for free from the comfort of my home and personal devices. Not to mention, libraries are using augmented reality and virtual reality to give knowledge in a new way. Amy tells me libraries are used by small businesses and wandering workers who need a space to work without hiring a desk or office, or need better digital resources like faster Internet. Some libraries like Amy’s former employer, the Queensland State library, have free dedicated co-working spaces for business people. They have learning sessions and entrepreneurs-in-residence, as well as the latest business books. The Gold Coast where Amy is now based is the small business capital of Australia if not the world! The libraries must be busy! I realised the library is the original co-working space! They aren’t often promoted that way, making libraries the best-kept secret - whether you are a travelling employee, self-employed, or a small business team. When starting up means a lean operational budget and R&D costs, your library can save expenses for meeting rooms, air-conditioning, and industry education. Do you leverage your library for work? Comment below if you do and how. I always have time for any librarian who thinks like an entrepreneur. Check out the full episode of energetic and entertaining Amy Walduck on Crazy Ones podcast.
