Staff, leadership and stakeholders of the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library recently welcomed Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor during his “Be Money $mart” tour. DeFoor underscored the importance of public libraries and the invaluable free resources they provide to community members.
“Pennsylvania libraries offer more than just books — they are a central knowledge hub where you can access a multitude of resources for free,” said DeFoor. “One of the biggest benefits to having a library card is that it gives you access to information about money and will help you on your road to becoming financially literate. Financial literacy is vital to Pennsylvania’s growth, and I’m excited to see how the Grundy Library continues to educate their community in the future.”
Grundy Library offers a variety of programs that promote the Pennsylvania Library Association’s PA Forward Initiatives. From “Cook the Book” to “Introduction to Grant Writing,” Grundy covers a vast range of financial literacy topics.
DeFoor’s visit marks the beginning of new initiatives aimed at enhancing financial literacy within the local community. The Grundy Library, in partnership with local institutions like Penn Community Bank, will be hosting a variety of workshops and seminars in the coming months. These events will cover essential topics from budgeting to retirement planning, all designed to empower individuals of all ages with the knowledge required to achieve financial stability.
