On Aug. 21, the Austintown library hosted Lego My Library, a program dedicated to challenging children to building a themed creation for the duration of an hour.
Librarian Jen Kuczek brought in books to help with designs and storylines for Lego creations.
Kuczek said this program has proven to be quite successful, drawing in many children each time it has been hosted, growing in numbers throughout this past summer — she attributed this success to the variety of blocks available.
“It’s very popular,” Kuczek said. “We probably have, besides a toy store, the area’s best selection of Legos. We have hot pink and purple, trees and flowers, and we have roof tiles and so much more.”
Most participants of Lego My Library just made a project of their own, not quite following the theme, but had stories behind the creation to tie it all together.
