Families of children with special needs can trick-or-treat inside the Prosper Community Library on Monday evening, Oct. 26, at a free event the town has set aside for them.
The Special Needs Halloween runs from 6 to 7 p.m. at the library, 200 S. Main St. Library staff will hand out non-food items instead of candy on both floors of the building, according to the event listing.
The library's elevator is available so children who use wheelchairs can reach the second floor, and costumes are optional. The town's calendar lists the event for all ages. Questions can go to the library at 972-569-1185.
