Star Wars invaded the land of the W. Walworth Harrison Public Library in the year of 2019. If Obi-Wan Kenobie was there, he would have said, “May the 4th be with you.”

Many Jedi fans, young and old, came to the library to celebrate Star Wars Day and Free Comic Book Day. Superman was seen webbing elbows with Princess Leia, Ewoks and Boba Fett.
