Take a look, it’s more than a book,

 It’s economics wherever you look!

With hands-on lessons, tools to explore,

 You’ll leave with resources, activities, and more!

Join Economics Arkansas for an after-school professional development session that blends the best of economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship education. Just like stories can spark imagination, these lessons inspire students to think big, manage money wisely, and even dream up businesses of their own.  

Mary Spears Polk, Youth Services Manager, will share resources the library offers—from books and digital tools to makerspaces and community programs—so you’ll leave with fresh ideas for your classroom and a better understanding of how libraries can support your students’ learning journeys. Sign up today and let's "taco 'bout" economics and "dip" into some personal finance, too!

Upon successful completion, Arkansas teachers* will receive:

1.5 hours of professional development credit

Ready to use resources  

$20 eCheck stipend

Snacks will be served.
