Financial Literacy is recognized in the month of April, and
Money Smart Week begins on April 22 this year. Financial Literacy Month is a great time to highlight the importance of financial literacy, and learning how to manage personal finances can be achieved by being informed and having access to good resources.
The State Library of Kansas has put together resources that might be helpful for financial literacy education for all individuals, including coverage for multiple age ranges and interest levels. For more information, please see our
Financial Literacy for Kansans page.
Additionally, be sure to check out the
Resources at the State Library page. These are databases that have information available for residents of Kansas that deal with financial literacy. New this year is the addition of Universal Class, a database which offers online courses. Users can search for finance related courses that include titles like
Personal Finance 101, and
Retirement Planning. Also, the Financial Literacy
Digital Books page has different titles available through several platforms that can help with personal finance.
For further information, some links to financial literacy resources are highlighted on the
Financial Organizations in Kansas tab on the State Library’s website. These resources are from the state government, as well as other organizations and agencies.
