Apply now for the chance to receive a Inclusive Financial Literacy Programming Kit, courtesy of ALA and FINRA!

Up to 100 public and school libraries will be selected to receive an Inclusive Financial Literacy Programming Kit to help them provide diverse financial literacy titles and programming for children and young people in their communities.

Each kit will contain:

  • The Inclusive Financial Literacy book list, developed by a team of librarian advisors in collaboration with ALA and the FINRA Foundation, with corresponding best practices and programming ideas for public and school libraries
  • One copy of Rainy Day Ready: Financial Literacy Programs and Tools edited by Melanie Welch and Patrick Hogan for the ALA Public Programs Office (ALA Editions, 2020), a ready-to-use guide for library staff with 16 model financial capability programs
  • One print copy of five books from the book list for libraries to add to their circulating collection

Public and school libraries (serving children in grades K–8) located in the U.S. and U.S. territories are eligible for this opportunity.

Applications will be accepted until January 3, 2021.
