NATCHITOCHES, La. — Families still have time to take advantage of the Natchitoches Parish Library’s free Halloween costume checkout program.

The program continues through Oct. 31 at both the library’s Main Branch in Natchitoches and its Northeast Branch in Campti. Costumes are available on a first-come, first-served basis and include cleaned, well-maintained costumes and accessories for a variety of ages. [natchitoch…stimes.com], [natchitoch…ournal.com]
