Earn, Save, Spend, Budget! Kids Can Learn about Personal Finance through New Library Programs!

Through these new programs, young people can learn about financial topics—like earning, saving, spending, sharing, and budgeting—in a meaningful and fun way. Visit the library for in-person kids’ programs or take home a tablet loaded with fun games offered through the Thinking Money for Kids program.

The Island Free Library has been selected to receive a Thinking Money for Kids Program Kit from the American Library Association (ALA) and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. The Program Kit is a collection of expertly vetted resources to help libraries teach financial education concepts to children ages 3 to 12, both in the library and at home.
