The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago began partnering with the American Library Association (ALA) in 2011 as part of Money Smart Week’s expansion. Member libraries are invited to participate during the scheduled week through state planning teams. If no state planning team exists they are encouraged to participate independently through Money Smart Week @ your library.
