Children are invited to construct Lego creations and build stories about them at monthly Build It! programs hosted on Saturdays at Sequim and Port Angeles libraries.
Youths will be encouraged to let their imaginations run free while they construct their own creations using Lego bricks. Participants will be encouraged to write a story about their creation, which will be photographed during the program.
Parents or caregivers are asked to accompany all children under age 8.
All materials will be provided, and Lego bricks and creations will remain in the library at the conclusion of each program.
