The Shepherdstown Public Library is hosting a Halloween Costume Swap Stop throughout October, inspired by the experiences of Adult Services Librarian Addison Reese, who sought affordable costumes for her children. This initiative encourages families in Shepherdstown and surrounding areas to donate gently used costumes, enabling community members to save money and promote environmental responsibility. The library director, Christy Hagerty, praised the program for fostering resource sharing within the community. The swap caters to all ages and encourages the donation of accessories while following quality guidelines.
