Tolkien Reading Day is held on March 25th each year.
Libraries here in Connecticut and across the globe mark this day by paying homage to the works of J.R.R Tolkien. They host “second breakfasts,” offer presentations on Hobbit lore, and encourage visitors to read their favorite passages aloud.
This hour, we explore why Tolkien's characters and fantastical world building continues to resonate with readers today.
