The Albany County Public Library has received a grant to provide these classes. Called "Smart Investing @ Your Library," the grant is from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation and the American Library Association.
The grant will make it possible for the library to add a large number of books, DVDs and other materials to their collections on these topics, for you to borrow. We will also be adding a section to our website, with lots of useful tools for everyone to use, to determine your own personal financial "health."
