Saving for College Workshop at Germantown Library on Oct. 9

A free one-hour workshop on “Saving for College” will be held at the Germantown Library on Thursday, October 9 from 7 to 9 p.m.

A question-and-answer session will follow. The library is located at 19840 Century Boulevard.

The workshop, presented by financial advisor Kristin Michel Rodriguez, will offer information about different ways to save for college, the role of financial aid and loans, and what people can do to maximize their savings.
