May the Force be with you this Fourth! Are you ready for some Star Wars celebrations? We can help! Come to our May The Fourth Be With You party in your best Star Wars costume, if you’re free on Friday (no registration required–just come!)–and if you’re not, check out the escape rooms we have all day Saturday! They’ll be offered at 10-11, 11-noon, noon-1, 1-2, and 2-3. (You’ll need to register for the escape rooms–check them out now!)
Maybe you’re hankering for some Star Wars-themed books. Have you checked out the series of tie-in novels for adults? They’re shelved at FIC STAR WARS. Jason Fry’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the newest additions to the series, while Timothy Zahn’s Alliances is coming soon. Do you enjoy short stories? Then you might like From A Certain Point of View, a collection of short stories set in the world of Star Wars.
Do you like graphic novels and quick-reading young adult books? We have those too! You’ll find Star Wars graphic novels shelved at GN STA. You might want to check out Star Wars: Chewbacca, currently shelved in our new adult graphic novels! Meanwhile, you’ll find young adult Star Wars novels shelved in the FORT under YA FIC STA, with graphic novels at YA GN STA. (Do you want to do some Star Wars themed reading with your younger folks? We have that too–just look at J STA, or ask at the desk!)
Looking for the movies? You’re in luck! You’ll find them shelved under DVD STA and BLU-RAY STA. The Last Jedi is available both as a DVD and a Blu-Ray, as is Rogue One. Do you love the music? You can find that here, too! Do you and your child love Star Wars-themed lullabies? Then Lullaby Renditions of Star Wars is for you. Prefer John Williams’ music for the movie, rather than a lullaby version? Check out Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack as a CD (and, of course, don’t forget to check Hoopla for additional music). Are you a gamer? Can’t wait to get inside Star Wars using video game technology? We’ve got Star Wars video games too!
Maybe you’re more curious about how the films are made, or you’re just hoping to stock up on trivia so you can win the night trivia night. We’ve got you covered there too! The Physics of Star Wars: The Science Behind a Galaxy Far, Far Away will help you impress everyone with your detailed knowledge of the Force (and the rest of the physics that gets used in the movies). You might also enjoy Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, a book created as a tie-in for the traveling exhibition that came through the Museum of Science and Industry, among other tech museums. Celebrate Star Wars–and brush up on your trivia–with The World According to Star Wars. Best of all? There are many more trivia books for you to find!
Or perhaps you’re in the mood to celebrate with humor. Have you checked out Jeffrey Brown’s graphic novel series of Star Wars-related humor? Friendships take center stage in Darth Vader and Friends, while everyone’s favorite villain tries his hand at parenting his twins in Goodnight Darth Vader, Vader’s Little Princess, and Darth Vader and Son. If you’d like to read along with the young folks in your family, check out the graphic novel series Star Wars Academy! (His contributions include Jedi Academy, The Phantom Bully, and Return of the Padawan.)
