The Van Returns

Last year the Smart investing@your library® van visited libraries across central Illinois. Now, through an exciting partnership amongst the Alliance Library System, the FINRA Investor Education Foundation and the American Library Association, the Smart investing@your library® van is back for 2010.

Beginning in April and continuing through October, libraries in the ALS service area will be invited to host the van at a library event, community event, open house, carnival or parade. Our goal is to promote your library as a quality source of unbiased financial information. The van will include a display of materials on saving and investing, in a variety of formats, both electronic and print. The van will be set up and staffed by our outreach personnel, which means a minimal commitment from library staff. This is a great opportunity for your library to highlight its financial resources, while utilizing the additional resources included with the van.

Last year the Smart investing@your library® van made 35 visits and reached 1,500 people. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity. Make sure the van is on your calendar this year!

This program is made possible by a grant from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation through
