LEGO Club

Lego creation

Fun LEGO Fact #1: The name LEGO is a combination of the words "leg godt" which means "play well" in Danish.

If you love LEGO as much as we do, then you are definitely going to want to drop by the Shawnessy Public Library on Sundays to take part in our LEGO club. At 12:00 we bring out the bricks and let the building commence! We've had castles, cars, spaceships, houses, airplanes, whacha-ma-call-its, and thingy ma-bobs emerge each week in the program room. Why not stop by and show us what you can do?

Fun LEGO Fact #2: Lego blocks were originally made from wood when the company started in 1932.

We are also accepting donations of used LEGO.

Lego Club: Sundays until December 18th from 12:00 - 1:00 at the Shawnessy Public Library
