Want to learn more about financial literacy programming and resources that are available in your community? The Office of Library and Information Services, the Rhode Island Library Association and the OLIS Multi-Type Reference Group are joining forces to assist librarians in developing and promoting financial education programs at libraries across the state.


Meet representatives from financial organizations who have partnered with libraries during RILA's Money Smart Week and can offer resources and programming. This is a great opportunity to learn more about financial education programs your library may offer during Money Smart Week, which will take place April 23-30, 2016.


Learn about the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) partnership with libraries. Printed resources will be available to libraries. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the resources and programs available so that your library can join financial literacy awareness.
