"Star Wars Reads Day is the kind of initiative that we at Lucasfilm love to support" says Carol Roeder, Director of Publishing at Lucasfilm. "Reading and Star Wars have gone hand-in-hand since 1976, when the novelization of the original Star Wars movie was released. Over the years, many fans have discovered the joy in reading through Star Wars books, and we hope to continue encouraging more people to read."
AT THE CAMARILLO LIBRARY
The “Star Wars Reads” event at the Camarillo Public Library will celebrate the beloved series on Saturday, October 5, beginning with a screening of “Star Wars Uncut”. This amazingly creative crowd-sourced version of the original Star Wars movie will screen at 10 a.m. in the Community Room.

Then from 2-4 p.m., Teen Advisory Board members will host Star Wars trivia games, origami, and stories in the Young Adult and Children’s areas of the Camarillo Public Library. Members of the 501st Legion and the Rebel Alliance, professional costumed characters, will participate.
“It’s all about encouraging literacy,” said Steve Phillips, Teen Services Librarian. “Kids will read Star Wars materials because it’s fun, and once they realize that reading can be fun, well, just get out of their way!”
