Do you have a cupboard full of unloved, outgrown fancy dress clothes?
We are hoping to make World Book Day more affordable and sustainable this year by hosting costume swaps in some of our libraries. We are looking for donations of suitable fancy-dress costumes in good, clean condition. Donations can be dropped off with staff at any Library in Leeds.
