[MD-Sligo] Recap: Saving for College and Upcoming Events

[Ashley Biggs -MSL-]

Hi everyone!

We are excited to continue our partnership with the CASH Campaign this
year. Sponsored by the Friends of the Maryland State Library for the Blind
and Print Disabled <https://friendsmdlbpd.org/>, the CASH Campaign will be
hosting two additional workshops this month:

*Conquering Debt*
*Thursday, May 22, 2025 | 6–7 PM (ET)*
Debt can feel like a heavy burden, but you don’t have to face it alone.
This session will equip you with realistic strategies to reduce and manage
debt, including the snowball and avalanche repayment methods. You’ll learn
how to prioritize payments, understand the impact of interest, and get
familiar with your rights when communicating with debt collectors. The CASH
Campaign team will also share trusted local resources and provide guidance
on when to seek help from professionals. Whether you're facing credit card
debt, medical bills, or student loans, you’ll leave with tools to regain
control. Register here

.


*Do You Know Who Has an Eye on Your Money?*

*Thursday, May 29, 2025 | 6–7 PM (ET)*
In this age of digital transactions and online scams, knowing how to
protect your money and personal information is more critical than ever.
Discover the latest trends in consumer fraud and identity theft, and learn
how to identify the warning signs. Participants will gain practical
strategies to avoid falling victim to common scams, learn how to report
fraud, and understand the steps to take if their identity is compromised.
The session will also highlight the leading agencies and hotlines you can
contact for help. Register here
<https://marylandlibraries.zoom.us/meeting/register/RAoZg7atRm-fLytY0wzhsQ>.

*Can’t attend live?*
Each session will be recorded and made available for playback. However, we
highly encourage you to join us live so you can ask questions in real-time
and receive answers tailored to your specific situation.

*Registration is free but required. Reserve your spot today!*
