All About Credit for Teens
April 19, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeEssex Library will host an All About Credit program for teens in grades 9-12 on April 19 from 5-6 PM. Participants are invited to join Banking Outreach Coordinator Kathleen Titsworth from the Connecticut Department of Banking to learn about credit.
Teens have many credit options facing them now or in the near future. From student, car, and personal loans, credit cards, and store cards… the amount of credit options can be mind-boggling and overwhelming, and the problems that can come from misunderstanding credit can be devastating.
This workshop will address common teen credit questions such as: What is credit and why do I need to establish good credit? What is the difference between a credit and a debit card? What is a credit report, and why do I need to know what is on mine?
Registration required. For more information about this program, please call the Essex Library or see https://www.youressexlibrary.org/teens/
The Essex Library is located at 33 West Avenue in Essex.
