April is Financial Literacy Month! While we learn to navigate life during the stay-at-home order, visit the Kansas City Public Library’s growing digital resource library online!

In collaboration with the Kansas City Public Library’s North-East branch, this week’s digital resource of the week, submitted by Dave Joiner, is “Brokenomics: 50 ways to live the dream on a dime” by Dina Gachman.

In this book, Gachman shares the lessons she’s learned about how to live large in the cheap seats and reveals all the tricks you need to live the good life without spending a ton of money.

This book is available on OverDrive (also known as Libby.com) in ebook and audiobook form and is FREE with your library card.
