What's the difference between a savings account and a checking account? What exactly is credit? Do I need it? All these questions and more will be answered by Freedom Bank!
We invited Freedom Bank to the library to teach the public about checking accounts, savings accounts, and the importance of credit. This event is ideal for patrons between the ages of 15-18 who are interested in developing their financial literacy skills.
The Bridgeport Public Library is located in Bridgeport, WV. The City of Bridgeport began providing financial support for the library in the mid-1970s. The library was then located on the top floor of the Benedum Civic Center on Main Street. In 1994 the citizens and businesses of Bridgeport raised over 1.3 million dollars to purchase and renovate the Allstate Insurance building on Johnson Avenue. It then became the Bridgeport Public Library. The library offers a variety of services and resources including books, eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music, magazines, online databases, and more!
