Lego At the Library
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2016/11 - November
Devotees of Lego, that series of ubiquitous multi-colored plastic bricks, know that there are mighty benefits to the unfettered play of a child’s imagination.
Children learn to read complex directions, how to measure, and how to cultivate unfettered artistic expression. Though they don’t realize it, these children are nurturing a foundation for deeper understandings of math, the sciences, and the arts.
That’s why it makes sense that Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library hosts monthly meetings of its Lego Club. Lego Club, which is held at 3:45 P.M. on the fourth Tuesday of each month throughout the year, is a happy setting for delving into the wonders and excitement of this beloved toy system.
Library Youth Services Director Melanie Golden provides cartons and cartons of Lego and Duplo (Lego’s smaller sister) to children, who are then invited to follow plans or unleash their imaginations to create individual pieces. The collegial atmosphere encourages quiet concentration and the sharing of ideas and materials.
Lego Club is free and open to children of all ages. Library memberships is not required to participate. For information, call (828) 743-0215.
Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library will be closed Thursday, November 24, and Friday, November 25, for the Thanksgiving holiday. It’ll reopen Saturday, November 26, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
