Dollars and Sense @ Your Library

It's never too early to learn about finances and managing your own money. Financially responsible kids become financially responsible adults. That's why for the second year the Santa Clara City Public Library and KeyPoint Credit Union are co-sponsoring two "Financial Literacy for Kids" workshops. (Read about last year's workshops here.)

To reserve a space for your child, please sign up in person at the Youth Services desk or call us at (408) 615-2916. Both workshops will be held in the Central Park Library Redwood Room. Parents and caregivers are asked to attend with their children.
