New Books for Spring!

After what seemed like endless cloudy and rainy days in March and April, May has brought warm, sunny days to mid-Michigan. There's never a better time to grab a good book and sit outdoors to enjoy the sights and smells of spring. The Business Center has received a large number of books this past month, ranging from debt reduction, financial education for children, to handling workplace stress. In this yearly period of renewal, if you have concerns about your financial situation, or know someone who could benefit from the information the Business Center has to offer, stop by and check out one of these books, or request one to be sent to the branch of your choice.

Money Smart Week is here!

I hope that the posts from the past month or so have been helpful as you think more about the future of your finances. With Money Smart Week upon us, I want to give another reminder that tomorrow, April 23 @ 6:45 PM here in the Grand Blanc branch, we will join a national simulcast of "Be a Money Smarty." 

This event will include fantastic money advice from leading experts from across the county. Please take advantage of this opportunity to gain from their experience. To make a reservation click over to the GDL's calendar of events HERE and choose "join." In addition to the seminar, there will be a wide selection of print material available compliments of various financial institutions.

The GDL Business Center exists in part to increase the financial literacy of our patrons of all ages. Have questions? Don't hesitate to call or email the business librarian.
