Budgeting for college expenses can be tricky and stressful, and those aren’t exactly words you want attached to such an amazing adventure, right? The Library offers a wealth (pun intended) of information that may help parents and students alike as they venture into those college unknowns.
This month we’ll be welcoming the My College Planning Team as they present “How to Pay for College Without Going Broke”. The team of experts will not only present on saving for and during college but will also be available after the presentation for questions and comments. High School students, College students, parents, and guardians are all welcome to this interactive program that may just quell some of those financial worries. The program will be held on Thursday, September 20, 6:30-8 p.m. Go online or call the Library to register!
