We Need Your LEGOs
The Youth Department held two very successful LEGO programs for children in kindergarten through fifth grade over the past few months. We would love to make this an ongoing activity, but we need your help to collect enough LEGOs to do so. If you have any new or gently used LEGO or LEGO Duplo blocks you would be willing to donate to the library, please bring them to the Circulation Desk or Youth Help Desk. Thank you!
