Lessons for Life's Journey from "The Lord of the Rings" (Adults)

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK EVENT - REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Jim Gould and Ted Hazelgrove examine hope and friendship, two virtues central to being strong and resilient in challenging times, exemplified in LOTR.

Examining hope and friendship by role play, multimedia, and discussion, Jim Gould and Ted Hazelgrove will explore two virtues exemplified in The Lord of the Rings, which are central to being strong and resilient in challenging times. Presented in celebration of National Library Week, this program highlights the enduring power of stories and libraries in connecting communities, inspiring reflection, and fostering shared values. JRR Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings trilogy portrays an epic quest in which, in addition to military might, personal character and social relationships are central to the success of good over evil. This presentation examines hope and friendship and how they enable us to reflect on their place in our own quest to live well in challenging times.
