On Wednesday, February 8 at 5:30pm, Money Works for Women will conduct a Psychology of Money book discussion.

• What happens inside our brains when we think about money?
• What kind of relationship does your brain have with your money?
• Would you like to learn to make more rational money choices?

Join us for a casual and informal discussion of Jason Zweig’s Your Money & Your Brain, which hopefully will help us answer these questions and more!

This program is free and open to all, refreshments served. For more information, contact Ellen Hawkins at ehawkins@curtislibrary.com, 725-5242 x.216
