Library and Southern New Hampshire University Expand Business Collection

Just arrived and open for business: essential books and reference material for entrepreneurs and business students. New in the Curtis Memorial Library collection are 43 titles provided through a grant from the Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU Maine) in Brunswick. Tailored to meet the needs of both community members and students in the business programs at SNHU Maine in Brunswick, the collection includes books on human resource management, such as hiring employees, creating job descriptions and performance appraisals, the gamer generation at work and virtual teams.

Other in-depth books cover managing nonprofits, fund raising, strategic planning and marketing (including “guerrilla” marketing, marketing to the social market and marketing without advertising.) Small business titles focus on writing business plans, legal guides for starting a small business and starting limited liability and S-corporations and tax savvy guides for small businesses.
