Budgeting Course

This course is going well. You can always learn something new taking this course. New ways to save money, places that you can cut back and setting up a budget. We are learning to set up a ledger right now with headings and how to keep track of different items to see what the cost is and to see ways to cut back on some of these things. Eating Better For Less is another of the topics that we will be looking into.

Free Books

Don't forget that you can pick up books to read here at the Adult Learning Centre at no cost. We also accept books that you don't know what to do with. Books are expensive, so we try to do our part to help people to get reading material and to share with others. So do drop in and see if there is something that you would like to have.
