In a Hole in the Ground There Lived a Hobbit

Happy Hobbit Day!

Today, September 22nd, happens to be the birthday of both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. They were born different years, of course, Bilbo in 2890 and Frodo in 2968.

So why not take today and celebrate hobbits? Have a Long-Awaited Party. Make sure you eat a lot, exchange gifts, play music and dance, and generally engage in merriment!

While you're at it, celebrate Tolkien! Author J.R.R. Tolkien created the world of Middle Earth, along with such inhabitants as hobbits. If you haven't ever picked up his books, why not give them a try? Escape into an adventure with elves and ents, rings and wraiths, magic and mystery.

Stop by any Lackawanna County Library to find books like The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and The Lord of the Rings series. Also check out the Lord of the Rings movies - The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be out in theaters next year.
