The Collective
The Collective is a dynamic and engaging space to showcase our communities as well as broader themes of art, history and science. Located at LCL’s Downton Newark location, we invite you to visit this space to experience something new.

Tolkien Celebration
March 3 - 26
For Tolkien Reading Day, we pay homage to J.R.R. Tolkien with a chronicle and celebration of his life and work. Organized annually by The Tolkien Society, Tolkien Reading Day is held on March 25 each year, commemorating the fictional event when the One Ring was destroyed by Frodo and Gollum, thus bringing about the downfall of Sauron, the evil Lord of the Rings.
Literary Fairy Tales
April 1 - 28
Discover the magic and enchantment of fairy tales through an exhibit featuring some of the most famous collections of literary fairy tales from around the world. Oral fairy stories about dragons, elves, giants, trolls, unicorns, witches and wizards go back thousands of years in every culture. Literary collections of these tales brought them to a wider audience and established them as part of our collective human experience.
May through September: Explore fairy tales in a truly magical setting at the Wildflower Fairy Trail, an enchanted forest at Licking Park District's Infirmary Mound Park: 4351 Lancaster Road, Granville, Ohio.
