Library hosts Free On-site Shredding Event with BBB

The Peters Township Public Library and the Better Business Bureau of Western Pennsylvania are hosting “Secure Your ID Day” on Saturday, October 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the library’s parking lot. This identity theft and fraud prevention event will feature FREE on-site shredding plus tips to protect your identity.

Did you know that protecting your identity is largely in your own hands? Fifty-six percent of identity theft victims traced the theft to something that was stolen from their own possession. At the October 20 event, BBB volunteers will guide cars through a moving line in the library parking lot, offload your disposable items, shred them on the spot and distribute goodie bags with educational ID theft and fraud prevention materials.

Each vehicle may dispose of a maximum of 3 boxes/bags of paper-based materials.

Major sponsors of the program are the Peters Township Public Library, The Paper Exchange, and First Commonwealth Bank. For more information about “Secure Your ID Day,” call the BBB at 877.267.5222.
