April is Financial Literacy Month and Next Week is America Saves / Connecticut Saves Week

Coming up next week….

Keep an eye out next week on our social media for daily savings tips to share with your communities.

For more than 10 years, the Connecticut State Library (CSL) has been a proud member of the CT Saves group along with UConn Extension, the CT Department of Banking, Better Business Bureau, Chelsea Groton Bank, Asset Building (formerly CAHS), and other partners. CSL will be promoting financial literacy with its partners in a lunchtime learning presentation for University of New Haven students on Monday and an in-person financial fair for UConn Hartford students on Tuesday.

Visit the America Saves website to sign your library up to be an America Saves participant, access a financial literacy toolkit, find ideas to share for the week, and promote the CT Saves Pledge, a self-pledge to yourself to save to meet your financial goals. Studies show that if you write something down rather than just saying it, that you are more likely to DO it! 

Visit the DLD Financial Literacy libguide for other ideas, put together an adult book display of your financial titles, or incorporate some picture books from the Money as You Grow bookshelf list into your storytimes!  Promote something for all ages this month!
