DALLAS — The Dallas Public Library is continuing an annual tradition to help high school students live their prom fantasies in style, and they need as many people as possible to help play Fairy Godmother.
The library opened registration for Dallas-Fort Worth students in 9th through 12th grade to make an appointment for the 2023 Fairy Tale Closet. Through the program, students can pick out their favorite gowns, suits, shoes and more for free, just in time for prom season.
Plus-size and LGBTQ+ students are welcome.
The closet will be free to raid on March 17 from 1-4 p.m., then March 18 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students can look for formal wear at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library on Young Street.
The Dallas Public Library is expecting 250 kids to take advantage of the Fairy Tale Closet this year.
If you'd like to help a student with their prom look, you can donate gently used clothes, shoes, accessories, hair products, services and more to any DPL location. Click here to find a library branch near you.
The library is especially asking for plus-size dresses.
You can also write a check and let the library do the shopping. Just make sure it is payable to Friends of the Dallas Public Library, 1515 Young Street, 7th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201. You can include "Fairy Tale Closet" on the memo line.
