Ages 10+ are invited to join us in celebrating Tolkien Reading Day, which is held on the 25th of March each year as originally organized by the Tolkien Society in 2003. We are joining Tolkien fans worldwide by hosting a Read-In event especially for those who love Tolkien, fantasy, or epic stories and characters and worlds of all kinds. This is a come when you can for as long as you want, drop in, read-in event!Come find a spot to read in a cozy reading nook and feel free to bring your own cushion, pillow, blanket, camp chair (swinging hammock chair anyone?!), or other cozy reading accessory. We will also have fun fantasy and book themed crafts and activities to enjoy if your eyes need a break or if you are an audiobook listener and want something fun to do while you listen! We will also have reading friendly snacks!
This event will be hosted by Utah Clean Reads Book Group, whose aim is to connect local authors who write clean books (kissing only and limited, mild swearing) with local readers who love to read clean books.
We will have a wide variety of fantasy and other books available to peruse or you are also encouraged to bring your own current or favorite book to read and enjoy this fun community-building activity. You are also welcome to participate in a blind book exchange (wrap a book you are finished with and take a new one home with you. All blind books must also qualify as clean books (kissing only and limited, mild swearing). They will be organized by audience age (middle grade, YA, and Adult). If your book exchange book is not wrapped on arrival, we will have a wrapping station.
This event will also be the start date and pick up time for all Fellowship of the Book participants. We will have copies of several Tolkien related books that will each take a journey from one member of the fellowship to the next until all 9 members of each fellowship have completed the adventure. Each member will receive a designated color to annotate and tab the book as they read and will keep the book for about 20 days before passing it to the next in line. The books will complete their journey at our Family Hobbit Tea Party on Tuesday, September 22nd, when the full fellowship will gather to celebrate the journey's end for their book and peak at the contributions of their fellow adventurers! This is your ONE AND ONLY opportunity to write in a book you get from our library!!
