Here are some of the highlights from the February 6, 2025 edition:
Money Smart Week (April 5-12, 2025) Kids Read Program
- The Money Smart Week Kids Read program, targeted at kids ages 5 to 8 years old, is an enjoyable way to introduce financial responsibility to youth through programming at your library. Each family attending a Money Smart Week program gets to take home a FREE copy of this year's book Deena's Lucky Penny, written by Barbara deRubertis and illustrated by Joan Holub.
- The deadline to order books is Friday, February 28, 2025. To order your FREE copies, visit https://tinyurl.com/mthdpzrz
- Visit Money Smart Wisconsin for more information.
- Imagine having an easy way to engage your library patrons in a conversation about the importance of your library. That’s the idea behind Free For All: The Public Library, an exciting new documentary premiering on PBS Indie Lens this April.
- Libraries across the country are invited to screen this film in their libraries and take advantage of turnkey educational resources, including booklists, an engagement guide, and more. Librarians can watch an informational webinar and complete this form to host a screening event in your community. You can also watch a preview here.
