The Great Halloween Costume Swap

Green will the new orange this year at the GO Green Club's “Great Halloween Costume Swap” at the library. Instead of purchasing new costumes each year, the group aims to encourage the community to swap their slightly used costumes to save resources, packaging, transportation costs, and money.

On Friday, October 4, from 3 – 5 p.m. drop off your used but in GREAT condition costumes at the library and get a token for the swap. Come back to the library on Saturday, October 5 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. with your token and shop for your swap.

Volunteers are needed both days to help with the swap. Email ptplgogreenclub@gmail.com to volunteer or for more information.
