The multi-media presentation showcases music from eight Star Wars films.

Readers in Bangor are invited to make simple instruments and march with library staff in the 4thof July parade, while Bloomingdale patrons can make Mando Harps and cereal box guitars. The Covert Branch welcomes singer-songwriter Grayson Barton in July and Lawrence presents Flamenco guitarist Gladius during a community picnic.
