Conquer the Clutter!
Are you one of the 52% of people who feel they live in a cluttered home? A study by Wakefield Research found that 91 percent of Americans have trouble getting rid of gifts, family heirlooms, or clothes they don’t wear often because it makes them feel guilty.
If you plan to make 2020 your year to conquer clutter, register to attend Get Organized for Good at the Peters Township Public Library on Saturday, January 25 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Certified Professional Organizer and President of Discovering Organizing Jill Yesko will provide step-by-step de-cluttering and organization instruction. Jill will share Pittsburgh resources for recycling, selling, and donating your household items, as well as sure-fire methods to simplify your home. Register for this free program online or call 724.941.9430 #1.
Jill Yesko is CPO®, CPPO, Senior Move Manager, and Founder and President of Discovering Organizing. Yesko has been organizing professionally since 2003. Her prior experience in Social Work and executive-level Human Resource management has uniquely qualified her to work with individuals that require resources, compassion, and experienced guidance to overcome their organizing challenges and create a simple life.

Library Closings and Delays
Winter has arrived! We want to remind our community that, if necessary, library closings and delays will be communicated in a variety of ways.
~ Watch the listings on local television stations like KDKA, WTAE or WPXI
~ Visit the Peters Township Library website at ptlibrary.org
~ Check the Peters Township Library Facebook page
~ Open your email and look for an e-newsletter from the library with closing and delay details
If you don’t receive the library’s e-newsletters, now would be a perfect time to become a subscriber. Sign up here to receive weekly updates about programs, resources, and any special announcements.
Please do not call the library as the phone message system will not reflect changes to our operating hours.
All of Us Research Program
There’s no one exactly like you, which is exactly why The University of Pittsburgh All of Us Research Program needs you! The All of Us Research Program is an historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States, 120,000 in Pennsylvania alone, to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine.
The library is partnering with the All of Us Pennsylvania Research Program as an appointment site for those interested in participating in the study. To schedule your appointment, call 412-383-2737 or go to JoinAllofUsPa.org/OnlineScheduling. All participants receive a $25 gift card upon completion of their visit.
Want to learn more? Visit JoinAllofUsPa.org for more information. If you want to do a deep dive into the national program, visit JoinAllofUs.org.
Already a member of All of Us? Thank you! To reach our goal of enrolling one million people nationwide, we hope you will help us spread the word to your friends and colleagues. Tell everyone about the importance of the All of Us Research Program and encourage them to enroll.
