Costumes Needed at the Brookfield Library

The Brookfield Library is hosting a free costume collection event where families can browse gently used Halloween costumes in various sizes at no cost. Whether you're looking to outfit your child without breaking the budget or searching for that perfect character look, this is a great opportunity to find something special. You don't need to bring anything to take home a costume—all items are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. If you have clean, gently used costumes or accessories gathering dust at home, the library welcomes donations through Wednesday, September 30. Drop items off at the Children's Reference Desk (not on the day of the event itself). All sizes are appreciated, though costumes should be free from rips, stains, and any used makeup or face paint. It's a wonderful way to give Halloween outfits a second life and help other families in your community celebrate the season affordably.
