Personal Finance

Learn how to better manage your money by increasing your financial literacy. It's always a good time to focus on your personal finance – but especially so in November, which is Financial Literacy Month. Get better at balancing your budget and so much more by attending one of our classes or workshops.
If you want to study independently, check out a book recommended by our librarians or review our financial information guide, a resource unique to VPL. With inflation on the rise and many in our community experiencing financial uncertainty, VPL supports greater understanding of personal finance through our timely event programming and relevant resources.
