STEUBENVILLE — In an era of endless information, finding the right resources to advance your career or sharpen a new skill can be overwhelming.

The Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County is stepping in to bridge that gap, offering expert guidance to help residents navigate the vast world of professional development and inspirational literature.

Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned manager, or someone simply looking to improve your personal productivity, the library serves as a vital link to the tools needed for success.

For those looking to understand how market leaders are made, the library currently highlights “Know What Matters: Lessons From a Lifetime of Transformations,” by Ron Shaich.

Shaich, the founder of Panera Bread, provides a blueprint for how he grew a modest St. Louis bakery into a 2,400-restaurant empire with $6 billion in revenue.

His story is one of resilience and innovation, beginning with a college-campus convenience store he opened after being wrongly accused of shoplifting at a rival shop.

Beyond the physical stacks, the library provides instant access to a world of information through the Ohio Digital Library and Flipster.

These platforms allow patrons to download the latest magazine issues for free, covering a wide range of professional and personal interests, including business and leadership, cooking and nutrition, fitness and wellness and crafts and creative arts.

Librarty staff is available to help patrons locate specific titles or provide recommendations tailored to their unique professional goals.

Borrow “Know What Matters,” or explore thousands of other titles by visiting your local branch or accessing the library’s website at steubenvillelibrary.org.

All digital downloads are free with a valid library card.
