Why this exists

Why pay for coworking before checking the free version?

Public libraries, community centers, civic buildings, and some public cultural spaces already serve founders, students, job seekers, and remote workers. This site makes that infrastructure searchable.

Libraries are America’s original coworking spaces.

They often include Wi-Fi, desks, computers, printing, scanners, classes, research help, business databases, meeting rooms, and people whose entire job is helping the public find things.
