One does not simply walk into Mordor… but you can read your way there! Join us this September for the Read to Mordor Beanstack Challenge, a month-long quest for teens and adults who are brave enough to turn the page.

Track your reading, complete Tolkien-inspired activities, and follow in the footsteps of Frodo and Sam through the Shire, Rivendell, and beyond. Earn digital badges and see how far your fellowship can go before the end of the month.

🧙‍♂️ Don’t miss the grand celebration on Hobbit Day – September 22nd, honoring the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins! Expect trivia, games, snacks, and a cozy Shire-inspired atmosphere perfect for every adventurer. (We will be at the Dresden Branch Library from 3 PM - 4:30 PM. Stop in to enjoy the fun!)

Start your journey on Beanstack—because every story begins with a single page! 🌋📚
