The Force will be with them

Hold onto your light sabers - it's been 30 years since George Lucas's "Star Wars" made its debut and the Gale Free Library will be celebrating that anniversary during the month of September and October.

"Star Wars is not just a film, it seems to be a whole culture," says Gale Free Library Director Jane Dutton. "There are hundreds of comic books and novels published based on the Star Wars characters."

To kick off the Star Wars season, the library will host an evening program about collecting toys - such as Star Wars, Mega Force, GI Joe's, and Transformers. John Pagonis from That's Entertainment in Worcester will speak about being a collector of "vintage toys" on Thursday, September 20, at 6:30 p.m.

On Saturday, September 29, from 10 a.m. to noon, the 501st storm troopers are coming to Holden! Darth Vader and other "Star Wars" characters will be invading Gale Free Library. For all ages, and bring your cameras.

A three-week create your own star wars comic book for budding illustrators ages 12 to 16. Will be held Saturdays, October 6, 13 and 20 from 10 a.m. to noon. The course will be taught by professional artist Lawrence Strauss. Call the library at 508-829-0228, ask for children's room, to register.

The library will also be hosting programs tied to a space theme. The Gale Free Library is located at 23 Highland St. Call (508) 829-0231 for more information.
