It’s always a good time to review and upgrade your financial literacy and never too early for kids to start learning. Since April is Financial Literacy Month, WPPL has put together a variety of programs for all ages to help you and your kids increase your financial knowledge.
WPPL is proud to offer the Myrna Chelko Early Literacy Initiative for children ages 4 and under. Participating in this initiative will help build the habits that foster early literacy development and lifelong learning. Sign up on westlakelibrary.beanstack.org today!
Not sure what to read, watch, or listen to next? WPPL can help! Request a Story Stack and Youth Services staff will select a stack of books, movies, and more for your family to check out at the drive-up window. Or visit My Librarian for personalized recommendations.
Borrow a jigsaw puzzle and return it when you are finished! Find an assortment of puzzles on the queuing wall or displayed at the pick-up window. If you would like to donate a puzzle (with all its pieces) for others to enjoy, put it in one of the library's book drops.
