About the Centre
The Business Information department of the Krakow Voivodeship Public Library came to existence in November 1997. It was a second library department of that kind in Poland. In January 2005, after changes in organizational structure of the Library, the Department was converted into the Business and European Information Centre.
Services and activities of the Centre are open to a wide circle of patrons. Over 12 thousands people visit our Department yearly, among them:
- Businessmen, stock exchange investors, SME owners.
- the unemployed and people looking for a new job.
- Teachers from public and private colleges, academies and universities
- Students and graduates from high schools and colleges.
Our task is to accumulate, work out and retain information from the scope of business and the European Union and make it available to our visitors free of charge.
Our mission is to support local SME and to secure access to information for our visitors. The Centre also supports academic community’s educational background.
