You can find Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, and DC characters walking around interacting with everyone and giving an opportunity for a photo op. This is one of the 2 large fund raisers that the Friends sponsor for the Library each year. The money earned from the event goes back to the library for the purchase of new books and to fund special programs, materials, and services for library patrons and the community.
