You’re about to invest in some serious skills!
We’re thrilled to announce that the Seward Community Library & Museum has received a Thinking Money for Kids Program Kit from the American Library Association and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. The Program Kit is a collection of expertly vetted resources to help libraries teach financial education concepts for children ages 3 to 12, both in the library and in children’s homes.
Selected through a national application process, Seward Community Library & Museum is one of 300 libraries to receive this unique offering. Stop by for one of our in-person sessions or be among the first to check out one of our brand-new Playaway Launchpad tablets for kids! No internet required
