When it comes to doing programs or answering questions about money, one of the most common topics library staff face is how to deal with debt. About 80 percent of Americans carry at least one type of debt. And although the total debt carried by Americans has edged downward since the 2008 recession, it is starting to creep back up. In our next webinar, we will discuss how library staff can better discuss:
- Dealing with the debt patrons have
- What to consider when taking on more debt
- Examining the costs of and alternatives to high-cost credit
- Ways to reduce their debt
- Tools and resources to attack student debt
This webinar hosted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be offered on October 22 from 2:30 pm – 3:30 EDT.
