Do You Own Your Stuff or Does Your Stuff Own YOU?

Saturday, January 31, 2026 from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Library
All Ages
Free

Jami Shapiro, Certified Senior Move Manager and Founder of Silver Linings Transitions, will explore the emotional and practical challenges of managing our belongings as we age. This presentation addresses the difficult decisions we face when sorting through a lifetime of possessions, especially when adult children may not want the items we've treasured.

You'll discover the important distinction between decluttering and organizing, learn about community resources available to help, and understand how changes in today's resale market affect the value and disposition of our belongings. Join us for an honest conversation about taking control of our possessions rather than letting them control us.

This San Diego Oasis event is free to attend thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Branch Library.

The Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Harley & Bessie Knox Library is located at 215 West Washington Street, between Front and Albatross Streets. This library was opened on Jan 26, 2019 and serves the communities Bankers Hill, Hillcrest, Middletown, Mission Hills and Old Town. Named in honor of the late philanthropists Harley and Bessie Knox, the new Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Library expects to have 350,000 patron visits each year. The 15,000-square-foot library is more than triple the size of the community’s previous library that was built in 1961. It features modern amenities, including designated areas for teens and young children, a community meeting space, study rooms, computer labs, drought-tolerant landscaping, an underground parking garage and a design expected to achieve LEED Gold certification.
