Hafnarfjörður´s Library was buzzing with life this past weekend on the occasion of The International Star Wars Day. The library is a true home of adventures and fairytales. There will be an even bigger Cosplay festival, Heimar & Himingeimar, held for the second time this coming August.
Over 500 guests were at Hafnarfjörður´s Library when the 501st Legion visited on Saturday. The occasion was The International Star Wars Day on May the 4th. Joy was all around and it was fun to have guests from various nebulas, from far, far away!
This is not the first time the legion has visited the library. Thousands showed up at the Heimar & Himingeimar cosplay festival, which was held for the first time at the library at the beginning of September last year. That festival was such a success that it will be repeated this coming August.
It’s fun to play and we’re never too old to do that. Now on May the 17th, you can start preparing for the autumn. There are monthly Kit and Cosplay workshops until the cosplay festival.
Sewing machines and everything needed is available on site. Assistance with sewing and proper tables for material cutting, happiness and company for everyone who is going to be ridiculously cool at Heimar & Himingeimar in August!
Indeed, our library is home to fantasy adventures and fairytale worlds.
