Here is a reminder of the great resources available from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for libraries. Also, check out the State Library's Financial Literacy Resources for Librarians<http://libguides.osl.state.or.us/financial_literacy> which has lots of great suggestions and contacts for local programming around financial literacy issues.

Subject: Financial Education Resources for Library Staff

Greetings,
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau focuses on ways to reach consumers in their communities as they make financial decisions. Libraries are trusted institutions and serve as a central neighborhood resource. Libraries presence in local communities across the country makes them natural channels for financial education. The CFPB works with libraries, national library and service organizations, and community networks to identify resources and community partnerships that can help libraries offer financial education programming.
Our goal is to make public libraries a resource for consumers seeking information about their financial decisions.
Through this initiative, we provide access to free tools, materials, and other resources that will help make libraries the go-to resource in their communities for unbiased financial information and education. These include:

  *   Online resources<http://www.consumerfinance.gov/library-resources/websites-videos-courses/>. A time-saving, consolidated list of noncommercial, money-related websites, videos, and tools that have been reviewed and selected by financial education experts at the CFPB.
  *   Free print materials<https://orders.gpo.gov/cfpblibraries.aspx>. Easy-to-understand worksheets, informational guides, and handouts on a variety of money topics from the CFPB, Federal Trade Commission, Department of Labor, Securities and Exchange Commission and other government agencies.
  *   Program ideas<http://www.consumerfinance.gov/library-resources/program-ideas/>. We share ideas for money-themed programs and promising practices that have worked in libraries just like yours. We also include suggestions for resources and promotional partners.
  *   Marketing materials<http://www.consumerfinance.gov/library-resources/marketing-materials/>. Bookmarks, standing displays, posters, screen savers, web banners and more. You can order these free materials, or download PDFs to add your logo and print them locally.
  *   Library staff training<http://www.consumerfinance.gov/library-resources/librarian-training/>. Participate in monthly webinars, or view past sessions to learn about personal finance topics and issues.
  *   Partnership guidebook<http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201406_cfpb_partner-guidebook.pdf>.  We help you think through the process of building and documenting collaborations that would work for your library, your partners and your patrons.
For more information, visit consumerfinance.gov/library-resources<http://consumerfinance.gov/library-resources>. Looking forward to continue working with you in 2017.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
