All attendees will receive a cardboard piggy bank to decorate and take home. 

This program is brought to you by the Thinking Money for Kids Grant through ALA and FINRA. This grant helps to provide engaging kids programs about financial education through age-appropriate play. Designed and vetted by children's librarians and financial experts.

Be sure to check out a Playaway Launchpad, a pre-loaded tablet with digital financial literacy content! No internet service needed. Find it in our catalog or ask any library staff member to help you place a hold. They are available at the McClure Branch at any time.
