Resources for Children and Teens

It is never too early to start talking about money. In fact,
research indicates that children often form their financial habits as early as
7 years of age. So, children and teens would benefit from financial education
early in their lives. Just like adults, having this education available in
their libraries will benefit these young people. However, it can be challenging
to know how to begin or continue developing library collections and programs in
support of children's and teen financial literacy.
At this webinar, Scott Wolla and Mary Suiter from the
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis will provide their expert assistance by
sharing the wealth of resources available in the Federal Reserve's collection
of financial education materials. From book lists to activities for youth of
all ages, the Federal Reserve offers a wide range of helpful resources to
support and inspire library financial literacy initiatives. The webinar will
also include time for participants to ask these experts their questions.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to:
Discuss the importance of financial literacy for children

financial literacy collections and programs for children and teens

Who Should Attend
