772-400-6331 Re-Spook. Re-Scare. Re-Wear. What’s the magic words to conjure up the perfect Halloween costume?
“Double, double toil and trouble Fire burn and caldron bubble. Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, For a Halloween costume that’s no trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
It’s the annual Costume Swap at Indian River County Library System. Easier than casting a spell or finding eye of newt. Just bring gently used Bat Men, Super Girls, cowardly lions, witches, ghosts or whatever happens to be collecting cob webs in your home. Receive a ticket to attend the Costume Swap event on Saturday, October 14th from noon to 1pm.
With that ticket you receive VIP access to the cream of the pumpkin crop.
From 1-3pm all others are welcome to browse the selection and take home this year’s alter ego. •

We hope our swap can help families save money and also reduce the amount of costumes that are just thrown away into a landfill when our kids outgrow them.” For more information call the Main Library at 772-400-6335 or visit our website https://www.indianriver.gov/services/library/ ### For more information contact: Jessica Matthews 772-400-6306 jmatthews@indianriver.gov
