March 25th is commonly referred to as “Tolkien Reading Day”. It was created by the Tolkien Society in 2003, and is the result of two events that occur in Tolkien’s legendarium: first, the downfall of Sauron with the destruction of the One Ring and also, the birth of Elanor the Fair, daughter of Samwise Gamgee. In honor of these events, SWPL plans on holding a celebratory Second Breakfast to celebrate the passing of the Shadow and the returning of new life to Middle-earth. Join other Tolkien readers to share a cup of tea and morsels and enjoy presentations by Kate and Trevor on Tolkien history and Hobbit lore.
