The American Library Association(ALA) has initiated the "Libraries Build Business(LBB)" theme activity to serve and support entrepreneurship among low-income individuals and minority groups,thereby enhancing the ability of libraries to support micro,small,and medium-sized entrepreneurship.This article conducts a case study on the theme activities supporting micro,small,and me-dium-sized entrepreneurship carried out by member libraries,analyzing the construction process and progression logic of the theoretical systems.It explores the operational mechanisms of these activities and the inherent professional spirit and humanistic care of libraries.Consequently,the article proposes improving top-level design in the industry to support micro,small,and medium-sized entrepreneur-ship,focusing on the shift towards digital literacy,skills,and education to aid digital transformation,organizing resources to target spe-cific groups,and collaborating in innovation to embed in the regional innovation ecosystem.These insights aim to provide practical re-ferences for Chinese libraries to support micro,small,and medium-sized entrepreneurship and offer pathway choices for the transforma-tion and development of libraries in the new era.
