New Lenox Public Library offering<br />
Halloween costume exchange<br />
Sean Hastings, Editor<br />
Halloween costume<br />
shopping can be stressful<br />
and expensive. The perfect<br />
costume is hard to find,<br />
finding the right size is<br />
even harder and the costs<br />
for a one-night outfit are a<br />
tough pill to swallow.<br />
The New Lenox Public<br />
Library is offering an<br />
“Eek-o-Friendly” Halloween<br />
costume exchange<br />
Sept. 16-Oct.31 for people<br />
to exchange or donate<br />
last year’s costumes<br />
and get a “new to you”<br />
costume. It is also meant<br />
to have people avoid just<br />
throwing away costumes<br />
and recycle them by having<br />
someone else use them.<br />
“It’s a nice way to reuse<br />
your stuff,” Jolyce Abernathy<br />
Morris, circulation<br />
manager, said. “It’s a way<br />
for people to recycle their<br />
old costumes, donate them<br />
and get them to people in<br />
need. They can check out<br />
the stash that we have<br />
and find something new. I<br />

The New Lenox location,<br />
which will be next<br />
to the new Starbucks and<br />
CVS on Lincoln Highway,<br />
will have a full menu of<br />
the “Red Hots,” pizza and<br />
Gelato.<br />
However, compared to<br />
the Orland Park location,<br />
there will not be much<br />
outdoor seating in New<br />
Lenox, but there will be<br />
indoor seating for approximately<br />
150 people and a<br />
private party room to seat<br />
up to 80.<br />
Co-owner Nick Iozzo<br />
said when he saw the new<br />
strip have spots for sale, he<br />
immediately reached out<br />
to get Joey’s in the space.<br />
Durbin’s was originally<br />
lined up to fill the spot, but<br />
backed out. Iozzo said he<br />
wanted to pay “right now,”<br />
but the leasing agent gave<br />
Durbin’s a two-week notice.<br />
He called co-owner Anthony<br />
Nardo when he saw<br />
the location — next to the<br />
train station, Starbucks,<br />
CVS and on busy Lincoln<br />
thought it would be fun to<br />
try here.”<br />
The costumes should be<br />
gently used and washed<br />
before donating them. If<br />
people do not have anything<br />
to donate or exchange<br />
they can pick out a<br />
costume for $2 for a children’s<br />
costume or $4 for<br />
an adult costume.<br />
“It’s our first time trying<br />
it,” Abernathy-Morris said.<br />
“I did this at a park district<br />
before that I worked at and<br />
people really seemed to<br />
like it, then a [library] staff<br />
member brought it up and<br />
I said ‘OK, we can try that<br />
again because it was pretty<br />
successful where I last did<br />
it. I think it will be pretty<br />
well-received here too.”<br />
Any costume, besides<br />
wigs, or anything that<br />
would have been touching<br />
bare skin should not be donated.<br />
And the library has<br />
the right to refuse to accept<br />
costumes if they are not in<br />
good condition.<br />
The donated costumes<br />
should be the entire costume,<br />
but if people have<br />
pieces that they think can<br />
be used to make a new costume,<br />
that can be accepted.<br />
They also do not have to<br />
be licensed costumes.<br />
It is all on a first-come,<br />
first serve basis and sizes<br />
and styles may vary.<br />
Abernathy-Morris hopes<br />
to have a variety of costumes.<br />
“They’re might be a lot<br />
of [Buzz Lightyear], for<br />
example, but that’s OK,<br />
because maybe someone<br />
just needs the next size up<br />
and pay just $2 for it instead<br />
of going to the Disney<br />
store and paying $50,”<br />
she said.<br />
All extra donations will<br />
be sent to Morning Star<br />
Mission.<br />
Clothing racks will be<br />
set up in the library to<br />
donate, people can just<br />
bring it to the circulation<br />
desk during regular library<br />
hours.<br />

Highway, Nardo jumped<br />
on board.<br />
“We wanted a Portillo’ssized<br />
store and this gives<br />
us that space,” Iozzo said.<br />
He added that he is excited<br />
to move in and be<br />
able to accommodate the<br />
people of New Lenox.<br />
Mayor Tim Baldermann<br />
also said he was excited to<br />
have Joey’s come to town<br />
and offer its full menu.<br />
Iozzo signed the lease<br />
last week and as long as the<br />
other permits go smoothly,<br />
he is planning on having it<br />
open in early December or<br />
by the end of the year.<br />
