A fancy dress swap scheme has been launched by a local library to help out children and adults who need fancy dress costumes and accessories for key seasonal events.
The library, based in Tadcaster near Harrogate, is inviting people to donate or borrow costumes and all of the outfits will also be listed on a dedicated Facebook page.
A spokesman for the organisation said the costume exchange initiative aims to help people take part in events like World Book Day or Halloween parties, when they can’t afford to buy their own dressing up outifts.
There will be a small fee to borrow items, which will raise funds for the community library. The official launch will take place on 29 September 2018, with all outfits displayed for people to try on and borrow.
