Three Cups, Written by Mark St. Germain and Illustrated by April Willy

Deborah Robinson, SVP, Retail Banking and Chief Marketing Officer

"Three Cups" teaches children, from an early age, the rewards of practicing a unique and effective method of personal financial management and is based on real-life events of Tony Townsley, his wife and two children.

"As a parent, I found this book inspiring. Teaching good money values to children is difficult, but Tony Townsley's story gave a simple method for a parent to teach their children positive habits related to savings, spending and charity."

Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Written by Robert T, Kiyosaki

Melissa Nobbe, Public Relations Coordinator

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" provides insight to what the wealthy teach their kids about money that the middle and lower classes might not know. Kiyosaki discusses the different mentality his two "fathers" had about money and what he learned from their advice - to make money work for you rather than working for your money.

"I loved this book because it was equally as informative as entertaining. It was filled with anecdotes of how Kiyosaki learned financial lessons as he simply explained the rationale behind his teachings. It was a fresh approach to managing finances, with some advice going against the grain of what I had always been taught."
