Richards Free Library Blog

"Wow is that ours?", and "How do we cash that?", were the exclamations heard by our young patrons as Leighann King and Tina Blythe from the Sugar River Bank walked into the library carrying an oversized check for $1000.00. Our teens participated in an interactive curriculum last spring on budget management at the Sugar River Bank which was a big hit with everyone. The program won an award from the America banking Association. The bank graciously donated the money to our library and new books on budget management, tips for successful interviews, and how to survive in college are being purchased. Accepting the check were Janice Brehio, Kathie Sarles, Aaron Carroll and Jacob Harvey. We look forward to another Money Matters program this spring. Thank you Sugar River Bank!
