Franklin Library: Manage Your Stuff! - Feb 1 - 2:00 PM

Do you dream of getting organized in 2015? What about your other 2015 New Year’s Resolutions? Even if getting organized in 2015 is not on your resolution list, getting organized can be the first steps to help you with all of your New Year’s resolutions! Getting organized will free up the time and energy you need to tackle the other things on your list. Getting organized means more time to spend with your family, more energy to exercise, maybe even more money to do all the things you’ve dreamed of! 

Manage your stuff will be held at 2:00 PM at the Franklin Library on Sunday, Feb 1
