The Poland library hosted a Lego story time event on June 9 for children to attend.
Amanda Koller, a Poland librarian, read the book “Pete the Cat, I Love my White Shoes,” to the children who came to story time. Koller chose the book because it was one of her favorites and because the Poland library is going to have a Pete the Cat event on July 23. Pete the Cat will be making an appearance to the event.
When Koller finished the book, the children got up and went to the tables covered with Legos. The children used the Legos to create whatever they wanted. There were Lego people, animals and original Lego blocks to choose from. Some children built different Lego creations on their own, while others worked together to make a big Lego object.
Now that school is out for many of the children, the Listen and Lego program provides a good opportunity for children to get some reading in and also have a fun activity to participate in.
The Poland library hosts two different Lego events per month. One is a story time Lego event with books and Legos and the other is a time for children to come and play with the Legos.
