BOOKS & COURSES

Local Bridges is busy creating numerous courses and educational events for our clientele. Many books that we recommend are created by one of our very own, Director Dr. Plumb.  She also founded this non-profit organization in an effort to fill  local community gaps discovered during her doctoral dissertation research. We are lucky to have her expertise available to us and have requested that she create many books and courses for instructional and informational purposes for our entrepreneurs, local communities and agencies. While we do highly recommend these books, especially for use in a few of our courses, we understand that some of our clients do not have the means to purchase them; therefore, it is definitely not a requirement to take any of our courses.  


We hope you enjoy and find our recommendations very helpful and inspiring!
