Get smarter about money.  Teens, what do you need to know about credit cards or buying a car?  Adults, find out how to save your home or repair your credit.  Kids, listen to stories and learn about spending and saving.

Pima County Public Library is partnering with the American Library Association and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to present a series of Money Smart Week programs at Pima County Public Library branches from April 11 to April 28.

Come and learn about the resources, programs, and services available in Pima County.  There are workshops for everyone, from children to adults and covering topics including reading credit reports, financial survival, and fair housing information. We’ll have Story Times for the kids, Creating Duct Tape Wallets for the crafty, and Coupon Club for the thrifty!  No reservations are required.

Other event partners are Debbi Jasperson’s Coupon Club, The Credit Wise Cats, Financial Education Collaborative of Southern Arizona, Southwest Fair Housing Council, Hughes Federal Credit Union, and the Pima County Housing Center.
