*About CFPB and the Office of Financial Education*

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
(Dodd-Frank Act) created the CFPB's Office of Financial Education to
develop and implement initiatives to educate and empower consumers to make
better-informed financial decisions. To help do that, the CFPB has teamed
up with local public libraries, library associations, state and federal
agencies, and national financial education leaders to generate ongoing
interest in financial education and develop bottom-up approaches to provide
programs and build collections for libraries of all sizes and in all
communities
