March 14 Financial Literacy Training

Financial Literacy Training for Librarians*

Sponsored by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau & the Palm Beach County Library System

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is the nation’s first federal agency focused solely on consumer financial protection. Their mission is to help consumer financial markets work for American consumers, responsible providers, and the economy as a whole. By working with public libraries, the CFPB hopes to make reliable, unbiased financial information and tools more available to consumers through exploration of various topics presented by federal agencies such as the SEC, FDIC, and Clearpoint.
