Wallyhood received word, late last week, that the Seattle Public Library (SPL) is partnering with Key Bank to provide financial education in our neighborhood. The first two classes, especially, struck me as timely, after folks see their bills after the holiday season. Key Bank staff will discuss financial education on these topics on the next three Tuesdays, at the Solid Ground Building (Cheryl Cobbs Murphy Room) from 3-4 pm:
Managing Your Debt – January 14, 2025
Spending & Saving Wisely – January 21, 2025
Protecting Yourself Against Identity Theft – January 28. 2025
Daniel Nguyen, supervising librarian for the Wallingford branch of SPL, wrote that, in partnering with Key Bank to provide financial literacy in Seattle, they plan to host future sessions on topics such as Home Lending, Saving and Investing, and Starting a Business. Mr. Nguyen also explained that the classes were scheduled to coincide with food bank and tax assistance hours to make them more accessible to community members.
