Lord of the Libraries, a spoof on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, is Chris Martin's second film created for KU Libraries. Elves, dwarves, and men battle a brood of librarian castouts while the Hobbits make a mad dash across campus to return The Book of Power, a text 30 years overdue. Not only is the video visually stunning, it is hilarious to watch.
