Identity theft is a growing national concern and shredding sensitive documents is one way to reduce the risk of becoming an identity theft victim.

 

Clean out your file cabinets and shred your old documents for  

free at the Shred-It Day in the library parking lot.  

 

This is your opportunity to safely dispose of bank statements that  

are no longer needed for tax returns or other financial records,  

old cancelled checks, credit card statements or medical records -  

anything you no longer want to keep.
