It's that time again! Have old costumes you don't know what to do with? Drop them off at the library for another child (or adult) to enjoy! For the month of September we will be taking donations of new or gently used costumes for our Little Free Costume Closet in October.

What we will accept:
- All sizes from baby to adult
- Clean, gently used or new costumes with no large rips, stains, or other significant damage
- Costume accessories (ex. crowns, wings, masks, props)

We will NOT be accepting make-up, fake blood, or face paint for sanitary purposes.
