Thanks to the Dallas Public Library, local high school students can feel like they are a million dollars at graduation for free.
The annual homecoming wear giveaway, which gives students the chance to find something to wear to a great event for free, is running its 10th year; the entire attire was provided by the public.
” The youth, they definitely love the bedroom. When a young discovers their ideal prom dress, Latari Prater, with the Dallas Public Library, says, “you see smile on their face, and they’re all thrilled to have perfect outfit for prom.” ” As you know, graduation can be very expensive, so the chance to travel in and get a free graduation dress, a prom suit, or a prom suit is precious,” said one woman.
The Fairy Tale Closet at the library will have thousands of dresses in a variety of sizes and styles available in addition to sneakers, accessories, a dozen suits and jackets for the guys, and for those who prefer not to use a traditional dress.
The Dallas Public Library and Project Beauty, a non-profit organization, teamed up this year to collect hundreds of clothes and provide hair and makeup advice for the Saturday activities.
The J. Erik Jonsson Central Library will have The Fairy Tale Closet available on the following time:
- Thursday, March 14 from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m.
- Saturday, March 16 from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m.
Walk-ins are pleasant, but it’s suggested that doubts be made in advance through the Fairy Tale Closet. It’s first come, first served, and is open to all.
Kids, ladies, and no- linear students are welcome to visit the Fairy Tale Closet. There are fitted areas and dozens of volunteers, or ‘ magical godparents,’ to assist with the clothes choice.
Donations are accepted at all Dallas Public Library sites year round, and The Fairy Tale Closet was established in 2014 and is restocked annually with funds from dozens of individuals and organizations.
