A formal correction
The Pflugerville Public Library in Pflugerville, Texas, had to issue a formal correction and notice to its community after receiving messages from high schoolers inquiring if they were, in fact, going to have snakes at an upcoming anti-prom event.
"ATTENTION - there will be no snakes at this Friday's Anti Prom at the library. There was a typo in a local paper that said we will have snakes," the library said in a Facebook post on Monday.
"We will have snacks. Snacks is what we will have," the post said.
The anti-prom celebration was pitched to the library by their Teen Advisory Group, a committee of high schoolers who brainstorm various ideas to engage young people in their community.
"The idea is to create a safe inclusive space without the pressures of a traditional prom," Cobb said. “Anti Prom is a safe space for you to dance — or not — the night away, no matter your sexuality, gender identity, beliefs, or any other reason."
The event, which will be hosted at the Pflugerville Library on Friday, has a "Fairy Tales" theme, so guests can come in with costumes, formal prom wear, "or just go casual," she said.
