> LIBRARY TO HOST WORKSHOP ON DECLUTTERING
>
> ITHACA—Minimizing “stuff” and maximizing space will be the focus of  
> “Controlling Clutter Before It Controls You,” a free workshop led by  
> Professional Organizer Robin Schwartz being held from 1:00 to 2:30  
> PM, Saturday, August 27 in the Tompkins County Public Library’s  
> BorgWarner Community Room Saturday.
> This program is offered in conjunction with the 2011 Community Read  
> of E.L. Doctorow’s “Homer and Langley,” which is based on the now- 
> folkloric lives of the Collyer brothers, whose bodies were found in  
> 1947 amidst 100-ton of refuse---including newspapers, preserved  
> human organs and a Model T Ford---in their Fifth Avenue brownstone.
> While the Collyer’s story is extreme, Schwartz said most people have  
> more in their house than is comfortable for them.
> “Every day we bring items into our homes without regularly taking  
> out an equal number of items” Schwartz said.  “The result is  too  
> much stuff and not enough space! This invariably leads to an  
> inability to find anything, more time spent cleaning, a loss of  
> efficiency, and all around stress.”
> During her workshop, Schwartz will explore why people collect so  
> many items and offer practical solutions for decluttering.
> Schwartz has been a professional organizer since 1987 and also  
> serves as the program director for the Community Arts Partnership.   
> For more information about her workshops, visit  
> robindeclutter.wordpress.com.
> The Library program is open to the public.  For more information,  
> contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248 or cwheeler at tcpl.org 
> .
> The 2011 Community Read has been made possible by Cornell University  
> and the Brooks Family Foundation.
