Use your imagination and engineering skills to construct your own LEGO and Duplo creations, then display them in the library! All materials will be provided. (Ages 2-12) You provide the ideas and the building skill, and the library will provide the LEGO for this drop-in program. Clean-up will take place at 6:55, so make sure you arrive early enough to finish building before then.
