PETERS TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS

Save the Dates!

Our library is one of 50 libraries across the country selected to host Thinking Money, a new traveling exhibition designed to teach tweens, teens and the adults in their lives about money. The exhibition will run Mar. 28 through May 4, 2017. Thinking Money is designed to teach financial literacy in a way that is not only understandable, but fun, through an adventurethemed storyline, interactive iPad content and other fun activities. Thinking Money was created by the American Library Association( ALA) Public Programs Office in collaboration with the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, whose support made this exhibition possible. More details to come!
