<br>
We call our program Lego Read & Play. I read a book on a story carpet to introduce the theme. Kids spend a little while (if the want to) making a Lego to go with the theme. ex. Elephant & Piggie book, then they made a "Pig" or an "Elephant", then we took
pics to display in the library. (see below)<br>

<br>
<br>
Some kids just don't want to participate in the "theme", so I don't make them. After about 20 minutes of together projects, the kids go and make friends playing Lego all around the room.<br>

<div>Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
The library I currently work for is thinking about starting a LEGO night and I had a few questions for public libraries that already offer these programs:<br>
<br>
</div>
1) How did you get started, did you purchase the LEGOs, except donations?<br>
</div>
2) Is there any structure to these programs or do kids basically just come in and play?<br>
</div>
<div>3) Do you have different ages come in at different times to ensure the very young children don't swallow the smaller LEGOS?<br>
</div>
<br>
<br>
</div>
I am curious to hear about how other libraries run their LEGO nights and would appreciate any additional information they have to offer.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
