The public is invited to Scotch Plains Public Library on Wednesday, February 6, at 6:30 PM to hear  Brenda Adams, an Independent Associate  of Legal Shield, speak about ways you can prevent  identity theft.

Ms. Adams warns, “It is not just your Social Security number they want! Identity theft is   one of the fastest growing crimes in America today. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that  nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Identity theft is a devastating crime that can cost you thousands of dollars and take years to resolve.

Registration for this free program is strongly recommended, and can be completed online at http://www.scotlib.org, by email to library@scotlib.org, in person, or by calling (908)322-5007, ext 202.

The Scotch Plains Library is located at 1927 Bartle Avenue, one block from Park Avenue in the center of town. Driving directions and more information can be found on the library web site, http://www.scoltib.org.
