education into their local elementary schools with Jump$tart Reading Days! This year
our volunteer readers will be reading “The Bernstain Bears’ Dollars and Sense.” Bear
cubs Brother and Sister start earning an allowance but quickly learn that spending all
their money isn’t always the best option. It’s a great book, and tool, to use and teach
your kids about saving money!

Money Smart Week is here! What better way to kick off MSW than by protecting your
identity and financial world? Shredding your personal documents is one of the best and
easiest ways to keep your identity safe. Simply throwing away your bank statements or bills
can leave you wide open for identity theft. Repairing your credit after identity theft can take
anywhere from a few months to a few years. Why chance it? Today at the Rainier Branch of
the Seattle Public Library, you can bring up to 5 copy paper size boxes worth of personal and
financial documents to shred for free. All papers get shredded on the spot so you know they
have been properly taken care of.
After you’ve shredded your papers, you can join the Southwest Branch of the Seattle Public
Library and catch a showing of the 1974 Oscar winning movie, The Sting, with the
opportunity to ask the staff of the Attorney General’s office any questions you might have.
You will need to RSVP for the movie if interested. Below are links to the details of the Shred
Day and The Sting events:
