Frequently Asked Questions

Spokane Public Library and Spokane County Library District have offered their own business services for over a decade. Many people in the community don't realize that there are two separate library organizations within Spokane County, so we decided to join forces to offer streamlined access to the variety of business resources available.

Your eligibility for remote access to digital resources within StartUp Spokane depends on whether you are a Spokane Public Library customer or a Spokane County Library District customer. This is determined by where you live, own property, or where your business is located.
