Star Wars Reads Day, now in its third year, returns for even more Force-ful fun on Saturday, October 11, 2014.

The annual celebration encourages kids to get into reading with a wealth of books set in a galaxy far, far away. Events will be held nationwide on October 11 to get kids excited about both Star Wars and reading. Barnes & Noble is hosting activities at a number of stores, including costume contests, giveaways, book signings, and more. Your local library might also be throwing a Star Wars party, so be sure to check out what’s happening at your favorite branch.

Celebrating at home? Give your Padawans this free downloadable activity pack with crafts, coloring pages, puzzles, and more.

And if you’re looking for new Star Wars books to join in the fun, here are some great reads recently featured on GeekMom:
