<p><strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">To Chapters:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Following up on a program that was presented at the Wisconsin Library Association conference last fall we have been in contact with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago about partnering to take the
successful regional Money Smart Week program national, with libraries as a major component.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Here is the Fed page on Money Smart
<a href="http://www.chicagofed.org/webpages/education/msw/index.cfm" target="_blank">
http://www.chicagofed.org/webpages/education/msw/index.cfm</a></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The program promotes financial literacy, and many libraries in the Midwest have participated in the program.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The proposed week next year is April 3-9 for all (expect Wisconsin and Indiana which run in October).</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">There will be a program on Monday at Annual on Money Smart Week, info below) that I encourage you to attend if you are at Annual</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">This programs offers the potential for ALA and the Chapters to partner with financial organizations and institutions on a critical education campaign for all.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Money Smart Week: Promoting Financial Literacy in Your Library</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Monday, June 28, from 10:30 to Noon, Washington Convention Center, Room 152A</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">All libraries need to provide financial education programming these days. Learn how libraries in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana are partners and participants in Money Smart Week, through the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
This program will be going national next year. Come hear about how the program works, the great resources provided by the Federal Reserve, and the new partnerships developed by libraries with financial institutions and government agencies in their community.
