“One of the upcoming events that I’m really excited about is our Star Wars Extravaganza. Every year for the past couple of years we’ve had a Star Wars event in the fall and we’re going to have one again this year for all ages,” said Amy Koester, the SPL’s Youth and Families activities director.

The festivities start at noon and go till 4 p.m., with a hour and a half history class on the film series which starts at 1 p.m.

The following day they will have a practice ACT test for all high school students. On the day before halloween prepare to get your gore on at the zombie makeup class on the Oct. 30 where instructors will supply all makeup for you to become one of the undead.

Koester even gave us a little sneak peak of what is to come in December for the holiday season. “We’re going to have an interactive live showing of The Polar Express with people acting it out while we show it. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Lots of cool stuff happening at the Skokie Public Library coming up.”
