It's time to go through your closet and clear out those dresses you haven't worn in a while.

Do you have any short dresses, maybe a long one, a classic black dress, or one with a bold pop of color that someone else would love?

The Ocean County Library is now collecting gently used, cleaned dresses as part of its Prom Dress Collection for students in 8th grade through 12th grade.
