PORT ANGELES — A monthly Lego Junior Maker program will begin at the Port Angeles Library on Saturday.
The program will be from 10 a.m. to noon in the Living Room at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St.
It also will be offered, at the same time and place, on two more Saturdays — Feb. 20 and March 19.
“Building with Lego bricks is a fun, engaging way to foster community and support literacy development,” said Jennifer Knight, Port Angeles youth services librarian.
“We love hands-on programs like this at the library where we can step back and let the kids create.”
Participants will be encouraged to write stories about their creations, which teen volunteers will photograph during the program.
All materials will be provided. Afterward, materials will remain in the library.
Parents and caregivers are asked to accompany children younger than 8.
The Port Angeles Library has offered a building program periodically for several years and uses the brick collection at outreach events, storytimes and other events.
The library’s collection was built with the support of the North Olympic Library Foundation, the Port Angeles Friends of the Library, the Girl Scout Troop of Western Washington and brick donations from library patrons.
Those who want to donate can contact Knight at jknight@nols.org or 360-417-8500, ext. 7733.
