May the 4th be with you

Today we celebrate another Fandom day – this time celebrating Star Wars! Did you know that the phrase “May the fourth be with you” was actually coined in 1979 in reference to Margaret Thatcher becoming the British Prime Minister? Me neither, but librarians love random facts. Check out more history about Star Wars Day at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Day.
