First Financial Bank will celebrate National Financial Literacy Month with a book drive and financial literacy outreach in each of its financial centers in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.

From Monday to April 30, financial centers, including the one in Seymour at 1130 E. Tipton St., will collect books of any type to be donated to local organizations, such as schools, libraries and churches.

First Financial’s ALIVE strategy provides “Access to banking services and capital, Lending in communities, Investments in local activities, Inclusion and empowerment, Volunteering of time and Education through the facilitation of financial literacy.”

At each of its financial centers, First Financial also is providing a list of books and articles that support growth in financial literary for all ages. From “Bunny Money” for elementary students to “The Total Money Makeover” for adults, the list of 11 titles will be helpful to people regardless of whether they’re saving in a piggy bank or managing credit card debt.

Books dropped off at the banks during the drive will be collected and given to community organizations at the completion of the campaign. A list of financial centers is available at bankatfirst.com.
