Program Description
During this Financial Literacy Month program, teens in grades 6-12 will learn about Financial Decisions from the Illinois State Credit Union.
If there is one question many high school seniors are tired of being asked, it is “what are you doing after high school?” Making a big decision about what’s next – a decision that can shape the next several decades of your life – is a lot of pressure.
Whether you have decided on a path or not, you should plan to join us to learn more about the options available to you after high school and things to consider about managing your money long term.
What You Will Learn:
- Things to consider when making big decisions about college, trade school, or entering the workforce
- Options to pay for higher education
- Managing money after graduation
Who Should Attend:
- Anyone planning to enter the workforce or pursue higher education
- Parents or guardians of young adults
- Any young adult that wants to be prepared for life’s financial adventures

Hearing Device Assistance
To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
