Conquer Clutter at the Long Hill Public Library--Spend Less Time Searching & More Time Reading!

The Long Hill Township Public Library presents “Conquer Clutter” on Saturday, January 28 at 1:00. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions then this event is for you!

Have you wasted time searching your house for important papers? Do you have “important papers” such as receipts, old income tax information, and bank statements but have no clue how long you should keep them? Do you have items you no longer want but don’t want to throw them way and have no idea where you can donate them? Or are you overwhelmed by all the papers that come home with your kids from school?

Find the answers to these questions and more on Saturday, January 28 at 1:00pm when the Long Hill Library hosts Professional Organizer Linda Anders. The first half of Conquer Clutter focuses on eliminating “paper piles” while the second half focuses on finding & reclaiming unused space.

Register for this FREE program by calling the library at 908-647-2088. The Long Hill Township Public Library is located at 917 Valley Road, Gillette NJ 07933.

Library Seeking Gently Used Magazine Donations

What do you do with your magazines when you are done reading them? If the answer is recycle them, how about donating them to the Long Hill Library instead? Many other library patrons enjoy reading magazines. The library sells them for ten cents, so your contribution will help the library as well as other library patrons.

We ask that the magazines you donate be no more than a year old, however, as older magazines are not very popular with other readers.

Thank you so much!

Why Take a Driver Safety Course at Long Hill Library?

Cars have changed. So have the traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. Some drivers have never looked back since they got their first driver's licenses, but even the most experienced benefit from brushing up on their driving skills.

Why take a course? You can expect to learn current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today's increasingly challenging driving environment. You'll learn adjustments to accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time.

Completion of the course could lead to savings on auto insurance and possible reduction of driver’s license points.

Sound good? An AARP Defensive Driving course will be held at the Long Hill Township Library. The course is 6 hours in length and will be held over two Tuesdays, October 18 and 25 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

Participants must attend both sessions to receive credit for the course.

The course will be conducted by AARP instructor Willy Parolari and is geared toward drivers age 50 and older (although drivers of all ages are welcome to attend.)

The course costs $12 for AARP members and $14 for nonmembers; participants must reserve their space and attend both sessions.

To register, call (908) 647-2088. The library is located at 917 Valley Road, Gillette, in the Long Hill Township Municipal Complex.
