FRANKLIN, Ind. – Johnson County Public Library (JCPL) will host the annual Project Prom pop-up event this year at its Franklin location, at 401 State St. Local teens can shop and take home donated formal wear, including dresses, suits, shoes, and accessories, free of charge.
The outdoor weekend event is “popping up” this Saturday, April 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, April 11, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the library’s Franklin branch.
Kelly Staten, JCPL Programming Manager, envisioned Project Prom after realizing she had accumulated several formal dresses through the years. “They were just taking up space when I thought, why not create a program at the library?” Donations of gently used items are accepted year-round at any JCPL branch.
