Financial Literacy in the Media Center

Financial literacy can be incorporated into our school's media center. Book displays can be created with themes of savings and money. Books can also be pulled reflecting other eras, like the Great Depression, so students can see the contrast of life and cost of living then and now. Books can also be pulled like The Swiss Family Robinson and Huckleberry Finn which depict simpler living than now. Students can brainstorm about what would need to be done to support the lifestyle they wish to lead. Books about careers can also be explored so students can an idea on the different salaries that go along with different careers.

I never thought of that before, great point. Thanks.
