Financial Literacy Series: Debt Management and Credit Counseling

May 12, 2021 , 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm / Online via Zoom

Presented by Sue Katz, American Consumer Credit Counseling

Most people carry some debt, such as a credit card balance, a car loan, or a home mortgage, but relying on credit cards to help you pay off your debt can snowball. Join Sue to learn how to manage your debt by understanding how credit works. She’ll also talk about the importance of understanding your credit score and history.

She is a Certified Personal Financial Counselor / Educator and a Military Housing Specialist with over 40 years’ of experience in personal, corporate, and small business finance. She is an outreach coordinator and educator whose main focus is reaching out to the military and to the community at large.

The Financial Literacy Series is brought to you by the Framingham Public Library in collaboration with Sue Katz of American Consumer Credit Counseling, and Bradley Baskir of Morgan Stanley. We hope that these programs help Framingham residents develop the financial literacy to make informed decisions.

Science Fiction Book Club: Borne, by Jeff VanderMeer

May 12, 2021 , 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm / Online via Zoom

In a ruined, nameless city of the future, Rachel makes her living as a scavenger. She finds a creature she names Borne, probably made by the Company, who wants to know if it is a person. But nothing is quite the way it seems: not the past, not the present, not the future. What Rachel finds hidden deep within the Company will change everything and everyone. There, lost and forgotten things have lingered and grown. What they have grown into is mighty indeed.

Please email Lucy Loveridge, Library Liaison, at lloveridge@minlib.net for the Zoom invitation.

In June we will be reading Axiom’s End: A Novel by Lindsay Ellis.
