The Halloween Costume Swap returns to Montclair Library October 19th!

Saturday, October 19 – 1-4pm
Kids’ Halloween Costume Swap
Has your child outgrown his or her Halloween costume but it still looks like new? The Montclair Library is accepting gently used Halloween costumes from October 1st through October 19th! Bring in costumes anytime we are open! The Costume Swap will take place Saturday afternoon, October 19th from 1-4pm. (We are also accepting costumes from those who just want to donate — and you don’t need to donate to choose a costume!)

Clean out your closet or dress-up box, save some money, and re-use – it’s a win-win.

Send your books out into the world

Book donations photo by Joe Shlabotnik via Flickr

It’s the end of summer, back-to-school time, and just under four weeks until our big Fall Book Sale on September 28th — which means now is the perfect time to clean out your bookshelves and donate your gently-used books to the Friends of Montclair Library.  You can drop off book donations at the library during business hours — please don’t leave them outside when the library is closed.  Thanks!

If you’re having trouble deciding which books to part with, here’s an essay from the New York Times by Amy Wilentz about culling books that you might identify with.  Don’t think of it as getting rid of your books – think of it as sending your books out into the world so others can enjoy them, too.  And, of course, the money we raise by selling donated books helps directly support the Montclair branch library.  Win-win.
