IL - Plainfield/60544 - SW reads day - SAT 1PM to 4PM

Post by woulf »

This was the 2nd year the Plainfeild Library participated in Star Wars Reads Day. As I was their contact and coordinator last year, as soon as they started planning I received the call to coordinate this years. Once again the library and staff went all out with crafts and activities for the children. This year with the planning in advance, they had been advertising our appearance, and they doubled their attendance with over 800 visitors this year.
We were also allowed, once again, to have a donation jug present for the strides team, and we raised $35.
The childrens dept. director's husband played the part of Vader for us, so it freed up another so we could have a diverse group of costumes. He has said he is retiring this year, so next year we will need a Vader.

Many thanks to the participants. I am floored by the group we had, and with so many events and choices, thank you all for choosing this one. The library was once again extremely happy with us, and have already put in their letter of intent, should we get a SWRD III.

11 troopers x 3 hours = 33 hours
