Greetings!
I’m proud to share that Saint Peter Public Library has been selected to host Thinking Money for Kids, a traveling exhibition created by the American Library Association (ALA) in partnership with the FINRA Investor Education Foundation.
Thinking Money for Kids is a new multimedia experience for children ages 7 to 11, as well as their parents, caregivers, and educators. The interactive exhibit uses games, activities and a fun storyline to help children understand what money is, its function in society, money choices, and money values, such as fairness, responsibility, and charitableness.
St. Peter was chosen to host the exhibition through a competitive application process; we are one of just 50 sites nationwide that will host the exhibit. (Nearly 130 public libraries applied.)
As part of the award, we received an allowance to host a series of public programs. These will include:
-
Thinking Money for Kids Opening Night: Experience the exhibit in this opening night event with Storytime (6pm), snacks and more! Mon., Nov. 7, 5-7pm
- Open Hours to experience the exhibit while the library is open: November 7 – December 10
- Special money-themed Storytime, hosted by area financial institutions
-
Youth Flea Market: Kids 7-12 and Teens 13-18, Sat., Nov. 5, 9-12 p.m. SPCC Lobby
For a peak at what the display will look like, please see the picture attached, or check out this interactive piece that is part of the display.
I would love to discuss ways you might partner with us to experience this exhibit. Please email or call me to discuss options.
Many thanks for your ongoing commitment to our community!
Sincerely,
Brenda McHugh
