No, I'll create my own blurb.
Program Description: 
Calling all Avengers and Star Wars fans! It’s Free Comic Book Day, and the library is throwing a “Superhero Civil War” celebration to decide once and for all if the Avengers or Star Wars rule the world. Wear your favorite superhero costume or create one at the party! Join in craft activities for both sides and take pictures with your favorite character cut outs. After the party, browse the library’s collection of comic books, graphic novels and DVDs.

Program Justification
Is a program the best way to meet the expressed need or present information?: 
Yes
Does the program fit the goals of the MLS?: 
Yes
How & why does this program meet the goals of the MLS?: 
This program showcases the library as a place to learn in a fun yet educational environment.
Which Strategic Plan Response/Goals does this program meet?: 
Satisfy Curiosity: Your libraries are centers that offer access to civic, cultural and community enrichment opportunities.
Why will this program be successful?: 
The event was held last year with fantastic attendance numbers. The event coincides with Free Comic Book day, which will draw people into the library. It also falls on the same week as "Star Wars" Day and the release of the new "Captain America: Civil War" movie. By utilizing both characters in the marketing artwork, we will be able to piggyback off the fact that Super heroes will be very top-of-mind.
How will success be measured/determined?: 
Success will be measured by showcasing the library’s collection of comic books, and how many are checked out. Success will also be measure by attendance and attendee response to the various activities.
