Toledo Library Hosts Thinking Money Exhibit and
Programs
Kickoff party on Monday, October 23 at 10:00 a.m.
The Toledo Lucas County Public Library will host Thinking
Money, a new traveling exhibition designed to teach
tweens, teens, and the adults in their lives about money,
from October 23 to November 27. The Library invites you to
join us for the Exhibit Kickoff Party on Monday, October
23 at 10:00 a.m.
“Money affects all of us, but many of us lack the
information we need to make smart decisions about our
financial futures,” said Linda Koss, Program Coordinator. “Thinking
Money is designed to teach us about financial literacy
in a way that is not only understandable, but fun, and we’re
proud to bring it to our library.”
Through an adventure-themed storyline, interactive iPad
content, and other fun activities, Thinking Money explores
themes like wants vs. needs, preparing for a rainy/sunny
day, imagining your future self and avoiding financial
fraud.
Programs will include Cash Flow for Families, Pizza Plus:
Smart Money Teens, Avoiding the Dreaded Student Debt
Monster, and tons more. For a full calendar of library
events, visit ToledoLibrary.org or
call 419.259.5200 for more information. Admission to the
exhibition and all programs are free of charge.
Thinking Money was created by the American Library
Association (ALA) in partnership with the FINRA Investor
Education Foundation.
In April 2016, ALA and the FINRA Foundation announced 50
libraries nationwide to host the 1,000-square-foot
exhibition. In addition to the exhibition loan, the Toledo
Lucas County Public Library also received a $1,000
programming allowance, expenses paid for a training session
at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in June 2016, and
promotional and support materials.
