🚀 TURN BIG IDEAS INTO REAL BUSINESSES THIS SUMMER! 💡

Posted Date: 06/09/26 (11:05 AM)


What if your next big idea didn't stay in your notebook.

What if, you were standing in front of a panel of professionals, confidently pitching a product YOU created from scratch! 

Introducing the Cicero Public Library's Business Book Worms — an exciting 8-week entrepreneurship experience designed for ambitious teens ages 12-18 who are ready to think bigger, create boldly, and discover what it takes to build something real.

Dream it. Build it. Pitch it.

Throughout this hands-on program, participants will:
✅ Develop their own original product or business idea
✅ Learn directly from successful entrepreneurs and expert guest speakers
✅ Explore creativity, innovation, marketing, and leadership
✅ Build confidence in public speaking and presentation skills
✅ Experience the excitement of pitching their idea to a panel of professionals in a Shark Thank-style showcase

This isn't just another summer activity.

It's an opportunity to learn the skills that entrepreneurs, creators, and future leaders use every day. Whether your passion is technology, fashion, art, gaming, food, social media, or solving problems in your community, Business Book Worms will help transform your ideas into something tangible.

From Page to Pitch. From Idea to Impact.

The next great entrepreneur could be sitting in your house right now.
