[Arlene Weible]

FYI, the guide described below is a great place to start if you are looking to build your knowledge of resources and get ideas for financial literacy programming in your library. As a reminder, the State Library also provides a guide to financial literacy resources for librarians, and provides more local resources and contacts for programming:
