Money Smart week (April 22–29, 2017) is quickly approaching! To get you prepared for financial literacy programs and events at your library, PLA is partnering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA) to host a special webinar presentation. This free webinar will highlight how the SEC can help you plan for your financial literacy programs, including the free digital and print resources and tools available to librarians and patrons, so you can feel confident teaching your patrons about financial topics such as sound principles of saving and investing, how to spot and avoid investment fraud, and more! You’ll also learn how to invite the SEC to come present at your library.
Project Outcome will show how you can use Project Outcome Surveys to measure the impact of your financial literacy programs. Webinar participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own experiences.

This Spring, the Library of Michigan will be offering a day long Project Outcome training in four different locations throughout the state.

April 17 – University Center, Mt. Pleasant
April 27 – Redford Township District Library, Redford
April 28 – Portage District Library, Portage
May 3 – Peter White Public Library, Marquette
