Star Wars day is celebrated on May 4 because it sounds similar to the famous phrase, “May the force be with you.” Get it? May the fourth be with you? On May 5, in honor of the occasion, the Friends of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County host a book event with 50-percent off Star Wars books and media. The discount will also extend to all science fiction materials. Shoppers who wear a costume can enter their names in a drawing for a free Friends’ membership.
5:30-7:30 p.m. Monday. Free. The Friends Used Book Warehouse, 8416 Vine St., Hartwell, friends.cincinnatilibrary.org.
