Registration open for Money Smart Week
Cobb County Public Library and libraries across the U.S. will participate in Virtual Money Smart Week 2021 to be held daily April 10-17.
The free online events will cover preparing a personal spending plan; how to talk with your children or aging parents about money; evaluating financial aid packages; choosing the proper Medicare plan; the basics of wills and trusts and more.
Cobb libraries promote resources and programs, like Money Smart Week®, for increasing financial capacity in the community.
Content will be provided by government, nonprofit and educational institutions through a combination of 10- to 15-minute presentations, checklists, toolkits and other pertinent resources.
Money Smart Week programming will focus on supporting the needs of low- to moderate-income households - those most affected by COVID-19 - to encourage greater financial well-being in their communities, according to the statement.
