SUMMARY:Save the Observatory Science Centre Herstmonceux - petition
DESCRIPTION:The Observatory Science Centre is an educational charity which has called the Grade II listed\, former home of the Royal Greenwich Observatory at Herstmonceux\, East Sussex\, home for the last 30 years. \nThe Canadian landlords\, Queen’s University\, who also own Herstmonceux Castle\, are not renewing the Science Centre’s lease\, so come the end of the 2026 season the Science Centre will be homeless. Over the years the science centre have worked tirelessly to fund and restore the site and the telescopes back to their former glory. The centre is a major venue for exhibitions\, lectures and educational programmes. The renovated telescopes provide a unique setting for the general public\, schools\, colleges\, and brownie and scout groups to learn about science\, space and the world around them. Whilst the Science Centre is in search for a new site to continue operations beyond 2026\, they should not have to leave the Observatory site at all and the historic site should be preserved for future generations as a great educational tool of significant historical importance. Please sign this petition for someone to step in and prevent the Science Centre from having to leave the Observatory site. \nLinks:\nSave the Observatory Science Centre Herstmonceux \nHerstmonceux Observatory Campaign Group

SUMMARY:#BannedBooksWeek Week van het Verboden Boek 2025
DESCRIPTION:In sommige landen verdwijnen boeken uit de kast\, niet omdat niemand ze leest\, maar omdat ze niet meer mógen worden gelezen. \nDaarom wordt van 20 t/m 28 september 2025 voor het eerst in Nederland de Week van het Verboden Boek georganiseerd – een campagneweek waarin we samen met bibliotheken en andere partners het vrije woord vieren en lezers uitnodigen om juist deze boeken te lezen. \nLinks:\nWeek van het Verboden Boek \nBanned Books Week \nLet Freedom Read Day

SUMMARY:Hobbit Day / Tolkien Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:The hobbits are described as being of three types\, Harfoots\, Fallohides\, and Stoors\, all deriving from a region to the east of the Shire\, in particular the Angle between two rivers\, and migrating to the Shire at different times.\nTolkien Week is observed as the calendar week\, starting on Sunday\, containing September 22\, which is always observed as Hobbit Day. \nBoth celebrations began in 1978. Hobbit Day in particular\, and Tolkien Week as well\, have gained some measure of legal dignity through a variety of proclamations\, declarations\, tributes and similar governmental documents prepared by elected officials who support the Society\, its goals and the observance of these holidays. Both events have attracted bipartisan support\, from the county courthouse to the White House and U.S. Capitol. Tolkien Week honors J. R. R. Tolkien and his son and editor\, Christopher J.R. Tolkien\, and celebrates the Middle-earth cycle: The Silmarillion\, The Hobbit\, The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring\, The Two Towers\, The Return of the King)\, Unfinished Tales\, and The History of Middle-earth. \nHobbit Day and Tolkien Week fall during the “Back to School” season and can create a bright new interest for students in literature classes and libraries. A number of schools and libraries host seminars and art shows during the week. Those with the facilities and budget sometimes arrange for a showing of one or more of the motion pictures based on the works. A few have even presented marathon showings of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films! \nThe most popular method of observing Tolkien Week is the library\, bookstore or school display.  Most libraries have bulletin boards or cases\, and some have enclosed display tables and other facilities up to and including display windows of considerable size. Many librarians among our members and friends create displays; other members contact their libraries and assist in preparing displays. The same is certainly true of schools. Tolkien Week displays and seminars have been held in places ranging from distinguished universities to libraries located in prisons\, mental institutions\, and army bases.  If your activities include presentation of research papers or other materials suitable for publication\, please consider submitting the available works to the Society for possible publication in Minas Tirith Evening-Star: Journal of the American Tolkien Society. \nHobbit Day\, on the other hand\, is scheduled to fall on the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo Baggins – two fictional characters in J. R. R. Tolkien’s popular set of books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings –  mutual birthday\, the date of the Long Awaited Party (translated in text by Tolkien as September 22).  This is perhaps the oldest festal observance associated with Tolkien fandom.  Celebration actually predates the formal designation of the holiday. A variety of names have been applied to the date and the celebrations. In large part\, Hobbit Day is usually taken up with the fun activities – the feasts\, games\, costume events\, fireworks and the like. Hobbit Day is a virtually ideal holiday\, incorporating attractive elements of several others: the masquerade fun of Halloween\, the feast of Thanksgiving\, the exchange of greeting cards and gifts associated with Christmas and birthdays\, the picnic atmosphere of Labor Day and Memorial Day\, the fireworks of Independence Day (or Guy Fawkes Day)… and the study and reflection associated with many commemorative days throughout the year. \nAccording to the fictional setting\, Bilbo was born in the year of 2890 and Frodo in the year of 2968 in the Third Age (1290 and 1368 respectively in Shire-Reckoning.) Tolkien Week is the week containing Hobbit Day. The Fellowship of the Ring opened with a celebration of Bilbo’s birthday. It was a large party with food\, fireworks\, dancing and much merriment. Some Tolkien fans celebrate by emulating the hobbits’ parties. Other simply go barefoot in honour of the hobbits\, who don’t wear shoes. Some schools and libraries use this as an opportunity to pique interest in Tolkien’s work by putting up displays and hosting events. The Lord of the Rings: “There is no record of the Shire-folk commemorating either March 25 or September 22; but in the Westfarthing\, especially in the country round Hobbiton Hill\, there grew a custom of making holiday and dancing in the Party Field\, when weather permitted\, on April 6.” In Gondor\, however\, “in honour of Frodo Yavannie 30\, which corresponded to the former September 22\, his birthday\, was made a festival\, and the leap-year was provided for by doubling this feast\, called Cormare or Ringday.” \nLinks:\nHobbit Day and Tolkien Week
