May the Fourth Be With You

Check out some of our Star Wars books in the library. Quite a few are out proving we have a lot of Star Wars lovers at our school. If you are looking for a particular title, let us know. Here is more information about the origin of the phrase "May the Fourth Be WIth You" and the celebration of Star Wars Day...

(From the news wires) It's not just a pun.
"May the 4th be with you" is a full-fledged unofficial holiday, "Star Wars Day."
Actually, as far as Lucasfilm and Disney are concerned, it's quite official.
As legend has it, and according to the origin story recognized by Lucasfilm, the phrase was first used on May 4, 1979, the day Margaret Thatcher took office as UK prime minister. The Conservative party allegedly placed an ad in the London Evening News which read, "May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations."

Here are just some of our library's books celebrating Star Wars. I can't wait for the new Star Wars movie, "The Force Awakens" set for release this December!
