Your local library can be stocked with secondhand 'looks' too!
Like a traditional library, the collections are vast and varied. And with your free membership card, you can borrow at no cost for 2 weeks!
Housed within traditional libraries, the Clothing Library makes it easy and convenient to borrow not buy . It's about access, not ownership! By doing so, we all can help extend the life of clothing to keep them out of landfills.

The Clothing Library focuses on occasion wear - dressy, professional or seasonal garments. Think a fancy party dress or wedding suit; an interview outfit or attire for professional pictures; or a ski jacket or beach cover up for the handful of times you'll need them.

Our goal is to provide clothing for all genders and sizes. Adults, Teens, and Children.
