The Deal of the Day - read by Yolanda
This story is for our little members ages 7 and up. In it Jamie and his Grandpa are shopping and Jamie learns that a deal on something he wants to buy might not be such a good deal after all. Kids will learn why it’s best to stop, think, and ask questions before buying. This is read by Yolanda.
Our little members will learn that “Buy One Get One Half Off” deals try to get you to spend more than you planned to. It also teaches that “Limited Supply” or “Buy Now” might make you rush to buy before you can even think if you really need it or not.
Tip from our staff: When you are shopping and your little one is with you, use sale signs and promotions that you come across as a teachable moment. Ask them if they think you should buy more than one item on sale if you only came to the store to only buy the one item you needed. Look for other teachable moments when out shopping.
Reaching for the Stars - read by Thaedra

Our young members will learn how taking on small jobs help them learn responsibility, time management and the pride in buying something with their own money that they worked hard to earn.
