Events › Lord of the Rings Week: Walk to Mordor

As part of our week focused on all things Lord of the Rings, we are collaborating with Ottawa County Parks to provide you a chance to walk to Mordor just like our favorite halflings. Visit Riley Trails between September 7th and September 21st and follow the signs to take your own unexpected journey through Middle Earth. Stop at each of the signs to learn more about J. R. R. Tolkien, read poems and excerpts from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and more.

*This walk is around a 3 mile trek. Please be sure to bring what you may need to complete this journey.*

Starting on Monday, September 16, join us in completing a craft to celebrate hobbits, elves, dwarves, and Middle Earth. All crafts are while supplies last. Check out the events going on:

4-5:30 p.m.
Monday: Create your own fantasy map
Tuesday: Cross-stitch your favorite LOTR character
Wednesday: Learn how to write your favorite quotes in calligraphy
Thursday: Make your own hobbit door wreath
Friday: Make your own elven leaf brooch

Also, be sure to join us on Thursday night as we test your knowledge of all things Middle Earth with LOTR Trivia from 6:30-8 at the Herrick District Library North Branch.
