Money Matters: Teaching Financial Literacy Skills - ARCHIVED SESSION
Description: Financial literacy is one of the 21st century library competencies outlined in the 2010 IMLS 21st Century Museum and Libraries Report. The Athens-Clarke County Library has addressed this competency with the launch of a grant-funded program "Money Matters: Because Your Future Matters" aimed at helping GED students and others learn basic financial skills.
Join Trudi Green and Teri Hanna to learn more about this innovative and timely program. Come away with a clear idea of the benefit of such programming as well as ideas for incorporating parts of this unique program into your library's programming efforts using your own local resources. You'll even learn something about the newest credit rules!
Money Matters is funded by Smart Investing @ Your LibraryTM, a partnership between the American Library Association and FINRA.
Presenters: Trudi Green and Teri Hanna
