Introducing 💃Frock Up @ Cambridge💃

Don't buy a new gown for every dance, ball or graduation ceremony. Borrow one from Cambridge Library! It's free for members (and free to join if you're not already a member). All we ask is that the dress is dry cleaned before it is returned to the Library.

For more information and bookings, call Cambridge Library on 9383 8999

We are also accepting donations to be added to the collection.
