Thinking Money for Kids exhibit April 1 to May 6

Cottage Grove Public Library will host a traveling exhibition designed to teach kids and their families about money, thanks to a competitive national grant from the American Library Association (ALA) and 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. The exhibit will be on display at Cottage Grove Public Library, along with a series of related special events, from April 1 to May 6, 2022.
