The Business Hubs at Cooktown and Ayton libraries aim to build community capacity, promoting sharing of ideas and skills that will increase the community and business capacity and further ensure self-sustainability. The Hubs offer a place for entrepreneurs, home businesses and others to access computers, word processing, internet and printing facilities in a private space, proudly funded by the State Library of Queensland. For more information on the Business Hubs, contact the libraries.
