THE GREAT HALLOWEEN COSTUME SWAP Saturday, Oct. 5, 9 to 10:30 a.m. It’s back! Instead of purchasing new costumes each year, we are encouraging the community to swap their slightly used costumes to save resources, packaging, transportation costs, and money. You can participate by dropping off gently used costumes for children, teens, or adults to our volunteers in the main lobby on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. or Friday, Oct. 4 from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. Costumes should be in GREAT condition. Participants will get a token for each costume donated. Return on Saturday, Oct. 5 between 9 and 10:30 a.m. with your token and shop for a swap. Any costumes and accessories remaining will be donated to a local charity. Adult and teen volunteers are needed on Friday and Saturday to help with the swap. Email [email protected] to volunteer or for more information. 22 PETERS TOWNSHIP ANNUAL ANIMAL FAIR Saturday, Sept. 28, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Celebrate our animal friends at the library.
