Project Prom is a chance for teens to browse through donated formal wear dresses, suits, shoes and accessories to take home for free
JOHNSON COUNTY — Prom is one of the biggest highlights for high schoolers. However, the steep price tag that comes with prom can make it hard to enjoy the experience.
The Johnson County Public Library tried to eliminate some of those costs this weekend with Project Prom. “Our mission is to provide things that are normally very expensive for free to teens of all shapes, sizes and walks of life,” Josephine Whitaker, programming assistant at the White River Branch for Johnson County Public Library, said.
“Accessories are great, and shoes are overpriced sometimes too. They’re only going to wear these items once or twice. We can provide it to them without them spending a large charge for a one-time use,” Whitaker said.
