(Washington, DC) — The Department of Small and Local Business Development and the District of Columbia Public Library will present a book talk featuring high tech expert Carol Ingley on December 11 at 6 pm in the Great Hall of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, on 901 G Street, NW.

Ms. Ingley is author of Digital or Dark:  How You and Your Analog TV Can Survive the Digital Switch on February 17, 2009. The book outlines the story of the digital revolution and the steps that you need to take to make the digital switch before the air waves change from analog to digital. At Thursday’s book event, Ms. Ingley will read from her book, discuss how you should prepare for the digital transition, and answer questions.

A regular client of DSLBD’s Training and Education Division, housed in the Enhanced Business Information Center (eBIC) in MLK Jr. Library, Ms. Ingley’s book is the result of her devotion to both an entrepreneurial venture and a subject about which she is passionate. With the guidance of DSLBD staff, Ms. Ingley created a business plan and founded her own publishing company, Media Mogul Press.

“The team at DSLBD has provided me with invaluable advice in rolling out Media Mogul Press, particularly in helping me understand and work with the array of support services available to small businesses in Washington, DC,” said Ms. Ingley.

Beyond providing one-on-one business counseling and other resources to entrepreneurs such as Ms. Ingley, DSLBD assists all kinds of business people in the District of Columbia through many programs and services. For more information about the agency, call (202) 727-3900.
