Jefferson County Library: Get Ready For Prom In Sustainable Style

Press release from the Jefferson County Public Library:

February 18, 2022

Prom is right around the corner, and we all could use a wardrobe refresh! Get ready for the big dance with Jefferson County Public Library’s ninth annual Prom Swap, where you can donate your lightly used and clean formal attire and pick out a fashionable and new-to-you outfit.

Whether it’s your dreams or someone else’s that are coming true, Prom Swap connects you with a sustainable and exciting way to change up your closet.

Donation Days: Feb. 26 – March 11

Bring your clothing to the Belmar, Columbine, Edgewater, Golden, Lakewood or Standley Lake Libraries between Feb. 26 and March 11. 

If you don’t have formal attire to donate, don’t worry; buy your tickets with canned goods on a shopping day!

For canned goods donations:

Shopping Days
