[LIBRARYDIR] Financial Literacy Training

[Martin, Jeff]

FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING

Do you receive lots of requests from patrons for help with financial matters? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau wants to help make libraries the go-to source for unbiased financial education and resources in every community. This free all-day workshop (8:30 to 4:30) at the Central Seattle Public Library on July 19, 2017, will provide detailed information on the free resources available in your community to use when fielding financial questions from patrons.

You will learn about organizations in your community that provide free unbiased financial literacy resources to help empower patrons to make appropriate financial choices for themselves. A wide array of financial topics will be covered, including:

  *   Paying for college
  *   Prevention of financial fraud
  *   Planning for retirement
  *   Basics of credit such as mortgages and credit rating and scores
  *   Resources for seniors including financial caregiving and reverse mortgages.
