May the Fourth Be With You!

Your body might be confined to a small area on Earth right now, but you can take your mind to a galaxy far, far away with these Star Wars tie-in books for readers of all ages! These books are all available digitally from either Overdrive or Hoopla. (You can see tutorials here if you need help getting started with either of those apps. Or you can ask a friendly droid for assistance--or the MHL staff are available by chat or email, in the event that your droid is off for maintenance.)
