Kris Farley had barely taken the reigns as youth services librarian in Ladysmith before her first big program–a special family storytime during Money Smart Week. The library received free copies of The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Commercials from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institution’s Office of Financial Literacy. They read the story and distributed it, along with a coloring booklet about Olivia (the Pig) and her wants and needs. They used math and money games from the IFLS Mathmania kit to keep the older kids entertained.
What a great debut!
