Get Smart About Your Finances!

The year 2009 taught us all a very valuable lesson: financial planning today will directly influence financial freedom tomorrow.

That’s why Brooklyn Public Library has partnered with the Office of Financial Empowerment, Mind Your Money and the Coalition For Debtor Education to offer Growing Dollars and $ense, a series of financial planning programs starting in May.

Through workshops, seminars, and one-on-one counseling sessions, you'll get much more than financial literacy; you'll gain the confidence to take an active role in your future.
