Get Money Smart with our Financial Literacy Month Book Display

Celebrate Financial Literacy Month (FLM) this November by checking out the Bronfman Library's Get Money Smart book display! We've compiled a wide variety of books that discuss topics like budgeting tips for students, saving money, and financing your post-secondary education.

If you have some extra time this month, you should also check out the great financial literacy events taking place in Toronto. The Bronfman Library, in partner with other interested departments at York, will hold a number of financial literacy events in January 2017. You can still get into the spirit of FLM this November by checking out the online personal finance resources we’ve compiled and our personal finance books in the Bronfman Library.

We've highlighted a few of the personal finance books available in this display:

Financial Literacy for Millennials by Andrew O. Smith
- Andrew Smith covers not only the financial literacy basics like saving money, debt, and credit cards, but also looks at topics such as avoiding financial scams and dealing with internet fraud. If you want to gain a good, overall understanding of personal finance, start with this book!
The Wealthy Barber Returns by David Chilton
- David Chilton returns in this follow-up book to his wildly successful personal finance book, The Wealthy Barber (also available in the display). Chilton approaches personal finance in a conversational manner and uses humour to teach his audience about debt, saving, emergency funds, and much more!
Saving for School: Understand RESPs, Take Control of your Savings, Minimize Student Debt by Gail Vaz-Oxlade
- Perhaps you’ve watched the addictive TV show Til Debt Do Us Part? Well, Gail Vaz-Oxlade, the personal finance guru from the show, brings you her advice and wisdom on saving for school in this book. While the book focuses a lot on RESPs, it also covers how to budget and student loans. This is just one of the books by Vaz-Oxlade in our display.

Check out the full list of titles in the display here. We hope that this display will help you brush up on your financial literacy skills during November. Happy reading!
