2020 saw a lot of people completely changing their lives in many ways. For me, I was in my home more than ever before. This meant changing my space in a way that eliminated clutter, and made my space more comfortable. Combine that with the New Year’s Resolution many people make of getting organized, I thought it would be a great time to recommend some of the library’s best books for getting organized and eliminating clutter.
