provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn basic money concepts in fun and engaging ways. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. During Money Smart Week 2016,
Michigan libraries across the state held more than 200 story times and gave away donated books to more than 8,000 families in 53 counties. We hope to build on this success by once again promoting <i>Money Smart Kids Read</i> and encouraging you to request
free copies of the Step Into Reading book, <u>A Dollar For Penny</u>, for your Money Smart Week story time(s). </span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

books to children attending a story time at your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across
the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. National MSW Partners include the <b>American Library Association</b> and Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, among others. <br>
<br>
These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages
and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners
will be hosting public events <span class="aqj">April 22-29, 2017</span>.<br>
