The Ontario City Library will screen all three “Lord of the Rings” movies, in their director’s cut versions, on three successive Thursdays. The festival is dubbed “LOTRthon 2.”

(Fans should hope the sequel goes better than “LOTRthon 1,” which was plagued by technical problems and, if memory serves, was unable to be completed.)

“Fellowship of the Ring” is this week, “The Two Towers” is Sept. 16 and “Return of the King” is Sept. 23. Admission is free but, since parental guidance is suggested, is limited to those 13 and up.

The movies screen from 4:15 to 8:45 p.m. The library advises: “Bring a pillow!” (The molded-plastic seats are not soft.)
