Several library locations offering Halloween help for families
San Luis Obispo County, CA Halloween is right around the corner, and County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries are hosting free costume exchanges to help families get their kids and teens ready. The costume swaps are taking place October 5 - 26 at libraries around the county.
Kids and teens can choose from gently used costumes and accessories at Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Oceano, Nipomo, Cambria, Shandon, and San Miguel libraries on different dates throughout October.
Anyone who’d like to donate costumes to the exchange is invited to bring second-hand costumes in good condition to any of the County of SLO Public Libraries locations before or during the events.
A costume contribution is not required to participate.
“We’re in the fall spirit here at the library. Now we have fun costumes to go along with all the fun scary stories and fall books with fall,” said the Erica Thatcher, spokesperson for the libraries. “We want to make families’ lives easier too, by providing a convenient place to choose a fun, free outfit.”
Expect to see racks of costumes among the stacks of books. The San Luis Obispo Library will also host a teen book swap alongside their costume swap Saturday, October 5, at 2 p.m.
All library services are free. For more information about the costume exchanges, children’s activities, locations and hours, visit SLOLibrary.org or contact any of the library’s 14 locations.
