Where manufacturing jobs have shrunk, a library is giving a leg up to entrepreneurs
Oct 11 2024
TOLEDO, Ohio — Marsha Hill feels like she’s been coming to the public library for a hundred years. She came with her kids when they were young. Later, she came for computer help.

She’s been coming in weekly, sometimes twice weekly, for help scaling up her nonprofit focused on children’s health.
