Three Times the Lego Fun

Sophie and John pick their Lego blocks from the pile.

You've heard of our Kids @ Work program?

On the first Saturday of each month, families come to our Main Branch to play and build with our Lego blocks.

Yes, it's that simple. Usually, there's some sort of theme. For example, last Saturday we were building stuff that had to do with the holidays.

For example, Sid built this awesome sled.

But there's also no need to follow the theme. You can build whatever your imagination conjures.

You don't have to register beforehand either. Just come and play. (However, we do ask that kids younger than 8 have an adult with them; and, as with any library program, we ask that you be kind to the other patrons.)

The program may be simple, but it's also pretty popular. Our Garfield Room gets pretty crowded on that first Saturday with young builders.

In fact, it's been so popular that we decided to triple the amount of Lego fun you can have at the library.

Tyler decides where to put his Ninjago warrior.

Now each one of the Mentor Library branches will host a Lego party every month—at our Main Branch on the first Saturday of the month, at our Mentor-on-the-Lake Branch on the second Saturday, and at our Headlands Branch on the third Saturday.

The rules are the same at each branch. You bring your imagination, we'll bring the Lego blocks, and let's see what we can build!
