Devon libraries saves World Book Day!

Last-Minute costume panic?

Today is World Book Day (6 March)! 

Youngsters across Devon are transforming into their beloved book characters and superheroes!

But what if you're facing a last-minute costume crisis? Don't worry, Libraries Unlimited has a brilliant solution!

14 libraries across the county are hosting costume swaps to save money and reduce waste.

Just dust off those old fancy dress outfits, give them a quick clean and head to your local participating library to swap them for something fresh and exciting.

This initiative is not just about saving money; it's also about saving the planet.

Did you know that UK Halloween costumes generate over 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually? That's equivalent to a staggering 83 million Coca-Cola bottles!

Participating libraries include:

-Pinhoe Library, Exeter
-Sidmouth
-Okehampton 
-Tavistock 
-Paignton
-Torquay
-Barnstaple 
-Ilfracombe
-South Molton -
-Ivybridge
-Kingsbridge
-Teignmouth 
-Torrington
-Crediton Library

So, if you need a quick costume fix, or just want to refresh your child's wardrobe, head to your local library.
