The Canfield library hosted Lego My Library, a program geared toward children ages 6 and up, on Feb. 2.
The program is designed for children to be able to work together with Legos and share ideas with each other.
“The children can build whatever they want with Legos while they are here. They can share ideas on how to build with Legos or share their designs and have fun working together,” said Amanda Kollar, assistant supervisor, youth librarian.
The library provides the Legos, and even offers bigger blocks for younger children so all are accommodated.
Kollar said the Legos provide an opportunity for the children to work on several skills.
“The children can use their fine motor skills, sensory skills and imagiantion when building with Legos,” Kollar said.
Katelyn Rakers and her mom, Colleen, came to the program to build something different.
“We wanted to come here to build with different Legos than the ones we have at home,” Colleen said.
Kollar also set out several books on Legos, such as “Awesome Lego Creations,” “The Unofficial Lego Builder’s Guide” and “Stacks of Lego Facts...Absolutley Everything You Need to Know,” for the children to use while they were there and check out to read at home.
