We want to make libraries the go-to source for financial education
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is working with libraries to provide websites, worksheets, guides and other information to help with a consumer's money decisions.
Training webinars
Check out our financial education training series just for librarians. We explain the CFPB Libraries Initiative and cover basic financial education topics, with help from a special guest or two along the way.
