Lego Lounge At The Library

Lego Lounge is a drop-in event where creativity rules! Whether you stay the whole time or just swing by for a few minutes, you’re invited to build anything your imagination dreams up using our bricks. Unlike at home, we’ll take care of setting up—and cleaning up—the bricks for you, so all you have to do is show up and start building. This event is best suited for kids ages 9 and up. Come create, explore, and let your ideas take shape!
