Each year during the week of "Tolkien Reading Day" which is March 25, the Cushing Public Library celebrates with a week of festivities. This year we're taking our festivities outdoors! Please check for updates in the case of inclement weather.

We've invited Kadie's Kritters to come with her wonderful mixture of animals including, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkey, pig, wallaby, mini horse, and mini cow (if she’s cooperating). There will be cones with feed available for those who would like to feed these wonderful creatures. ALL FREE as our way of saying, "Thank You" to our patrons for supporting your local public library.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) was a distinguished English philologist, academic, and author, universally recognized as the "father of modern high fantasy". His writing is characterized by immense world-building, intricate linguistic invention, and a profound blend of myth, folklore, and personal experience.

Tolkien’s primary passion was language. He did not just write stories; he invented entire languages (such as Quenya and Sindarin) for which the stories of Middle-earth were originally created. "The Hobbit" (1937) was originally written as a children's book for his own children, it is light in tone but introduces the core of his world."The Lord of The Rings" (1954-1955) is a massive, 500,000-word epic that continued The Hobbit but shifted to a much darker, more serious tone.

Tolkien's writing style is noted for its slow, deliberate pacing that allows for deep immersion. Despite being labeled by some early critics as escapist, his work is widely recognized for its profound emotional impact and serious, often sorrowful, tone. As a veteran of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, his writing was influenced by the themes of loss and the camaraderie of soldiers.

He was a close friend of C.S. Lewis and a member of the Inklings, a literary discussion group at Oxford.
