Hello all, has anyone hosted a program at their library to help people choose their Student Loan Repayment track? I know many libraries do something similar for people who need help picking a Medicare plan but I was curious if anyone did something to help people who graduated college and now have to start paying loans. It seems like a very confusing process! Are there non-profit groups out there who do that sort of thing?
