Ignite exciting possibilities for your business or nonprofit!

We have exciting news to share! This month, we’re launching Ignite: Services for Businesses and Nonprofits.

Ignite is for aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, and nonprofit organizations. We support community members every step of the way… helping them turn ideas into reality in pursuit of their dreams.

For years, the Library has strengthened economic sustainability and growth in the community. Our services have included free access to reference materials, exclusive electronic resources and databases, and an ever-growing number of facilitated, in-person workshops and training opportunities designed to educate and empower.

The exciting news is that, with Ignite, these services, traditionally only offered downtown at Joel D. Valdez Main Library in the Idea+Space, will expand to additional libraries throughout Pima County in 2020, including Wheeler Taft Abbett, Sr. Library, Murphy-Wilmot Library, and Oro Valley Public Library. Everything once labeled as 'Idea+Space' has been renamed as Ignite.
