HOW IT STARTED There are many libraries that now host a Lego Club for kids and I wanted to jump on the bandwagon! I had a conversation with a patron who was talking about her son and how he wasn't really into sports and was very quiet. I told her I was thinking about starting … Continue reading LEGO Club!
