Dear Library Member, Say "May the 4th Be With You" out loud and you'll hear the pun that Star Wars fans worldwide use to proclaim their love of this legendary saga. May the 4th has become a grassroots tradition each year, with fans online and offline proclaiming it "Star Wars Day." In honor of May the 4th, our Maker Mondays in May will feature a Star Wars theme and craft. Each Monday is for a different age group with increasingly complex crafts each week. This Monday, the May the 4th craft and storytime is for kids 5-8 at 7 pm. "Do. Or do not. There is no try." - Yoda
