Annual Costume Swap- Drop off Week

Staff at the Cinco Ranch Branch Library are planning a costume swap of gently used children, teens, and adults Halloween costumes Drop-Off week of Wednesday, October 1st through Monday, October 13th.

The event is geared toward everyone looking to donate an outgrown costume and/or find a new one for themselves. The library is accepting newborn through adult costumes that are freshly laundered and bagged with all accessories. Costumes with any tears or damage on the fabric will not be accepted.

Participants simply need to bring the bagged costume at the Cinco Ranch Branch Information Desk - 1st floor, where they will receive one Swap Ticket per costume to use at the swap on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, from 2pm - 5pm in the Meeting Room.

Donate a costume and receive a Swap Ticket to be redeemed on October 15, 2025. At the Swap - those with tickets will have entry at 2pm and those without a ticket at 3pm.

At the swap event, attendees can pick out a costume with their ticket from available costumes in a variety of sizes and styles.

***RESPOOK, REWEAR, RESCARE! Participate in the swap and help keep costumes out of landfills!  Because most costumes are made from polyester and plastics and are not recyclable, each year roughly 2,000 tons of costumes end up in the trash.***
