$mart Starts with Jacob
2025-07-09 16:00 - 16:30, 2025-07-16 16:00 - 16:30
For Grades K – 3
Step into the world of money smarts with our fun and interactive Financial Literacy Program for kids at the Library! In just three sessions, students will learn the basics of how money works, discover different ways people earn it, and explore how to make smart spending choices. Through hands-on games and activities, kids will build real-life skills like critical thinking and decision-making – all in a welcoming space made just for them. It’s not just about dollars and cents; it’s about confidence, curiosity, and being ready for the real world.
This program will be led by Jacob Green, a rising senior and youth educator who’s passionate about helping kids learn real-world skills – especially when it comes to money! He has worked with students as both a chess instructor and SAT tutor, and now he’s bringing that same energy to financial literacy. Jacob’s goal is to make money lessons fun, hands-on, and easy to understand. He recommends attending all three sessions, but it is fine if your child has to miss one.

(Virtual) The Grid that Made Manhattan
2025-07-14 18:00 - 19:00
Via Zoom
Find out how the NYC we know today came to be in this fun & informative session!
Those who live & work in New York City or even just visit surely notice the very regular grid of numbered streets & avenues that make it easy to get around much of Manhattan. But for many years after its founding, the city grew in disorganized & organic ways, until the Commissioners’ Plan of 1811 laid out the vision for what it would become today.
Join us for a deep dive into how this new plan was conceived and implemented, and the many traces of the process that impact the city even to the present day.
We’ll learn about:
● The ways that NYC grew from prehistory through colonial times
● An eccentric Founding Father who guided the grid plan
● The intrepid surveyor who laid it out
● How in the following decades we both filled in and also changed the grid
And much more! Should you be interested in testing your new NYC knowledge, there is even an online quiz you can take afterward.
