For Your Business
Handelman Business Opportunity Center
The Business Opportunity Center (BOC) opened in March 2002 and was created to meet the business information needs of the community. It was made possible by the generous efforts of the New Rochelle Public Library Foundation. Our information resources lend support to small entrepreneur business and those seeking employment opportunities. Our workstations offer career testing programs and employment information, as well as equipment for creating, reproducing and emailing resumes and applications.
