NORMAN — Get your space and life more in order with the help of an expert in organization at a Norman Public Library program, set for 2 p.m. Saturday in Rooms A and B of the library, 225 N. Webster Ave.

Charlotte Hayes will lead the class and focus specifically on the challenge of the vast amount of paper that can collect in office space and how better to organize it.

Hayes will teach about how to organize a household office, simple procedures for handling mail and bills, and how to turn piles into files.

The workshop also will offer tips on organizing the computer and business office and the different systems available for putting order to photographs.

Hayes is a teacher, author, retired professional organizer and past member of the National Association of Professional Organizers.

The program is for ages 18 and up, and registration is required to attend.
