Comments: We are looking to host a Father's Day event at the Ansonia Pubic Library, and felt that you can't go wrong with Star Wars and Dads! We would love to make this a yearly event as Father's Day and our Summer Reading Kickoff occurs during the same weekend. It would be a fantastic way to "hook" hesitant readers, especially the 8-11 year old boy demographic which, as a children's librarian, is the toughest age range for me to get reading in the summer.
Referred by: ??I read about a library that used the 501st to celebrate May 4th and it was a huge success getting families, that otherwise may not have visited, into the library.??
This should be a fun, small event and I'd love to see us fulfill this request. We've done library events in the past and they are always enjoyable. Aim for a 9am arrival time, 10am in costume start time.
