Hey Kids!

Do you like playing with LEGOs?  Then let’s start a LEGO Club at the Spalding Public Library!! If you’re a great LEGO builder, or a first timer, this is the place for you.  First we need to acquire LEGOs.  Do you have too many LEGOs? Have you outgrown your LEGO collection? Has your LEGO collection outgrown you? If you have answered yes to any of these questions please consider donating them to the library. We are hoping to have enough LEGOs to get the club started in May. Just bring them to the library on Mondays or Thursdays from 10a.m.- 12p.m. & 4-7p.m.

Building with LEGOs is one way to encourage children to think creatively, to problem-solve, and to experience hands-on engineering skills. This is a way to offer simple STEM programming in our library. Group building encourages peer interaction, conversation, and cooperative play.

The overall goal of the new club is to provide the space and tools needed for children to gain valuable lifelong skills while engaging children in a fun activity. Once a month the club will meet and each club session will last an hour.  Participation is free and open to elementary aged children.  A different theme will be announced at the start of each session and children will be encouraged to build creatively based on the theme. All materials must stay at the library, so bring a camera to capture your adventures!!

Supplies Needed For LEGO Club:

 Basic sets of LEGOs

LEGO baseplates (to display LEGO creations)

LEGO mini figures sets

Containers/bins with lids (to keep LEGOs organized)
