The recent resurgence of Covid-19 across the country means business leaders have a continuing need for timely, accurate, and reliable information to help their companies and organizations survive in the months ahead, according to crisis management expert and author Edward Segal. "Although many brick-and-mortar libraries have shut their doors because of the pandemic, they are still open for business online," he observed.

"Thousands of public libraries coast-to-coast offer access to important and reliable sources of information and insights that can help businesses survive — and compete —  in this challenging environment," Segal noted in a new blog post on Forbes.com

In his article, Segal profiles the business-related online services and resources offered by public libraries in Los Angeles, Denver, San Diego, Boston, San Francisco, Minnesota, and Miami-Dade in Florida.
