"May the Fourth be with you." ~Every single Star Wars fan ever.~
|
|
As someone who has seen the Star Wars movies (once was enough, thanks), but someone who has never understood the hype, I had no idea how far reaching the franchise was until I started at the library. Movies, books, graphic novels and spin-offs, all for children, teens and adults. If you check out TRAC's catalogue, you'll find many Star Wars books and movies about specific characters from Darth Vader to some of the aliens in certain movies. There are stories about the Jedi Academy, movies about Star Wars Rebels and stories about the Clone Wars. All in all, there is a whole lot to choose from. This newsletter, however, has only so much room. So I've chosen a select few Star Wars-themed items for you to peruse. And if you find something you like then just click on the title to place a hold. ~Marie~
