Join us every Tuesday for some fun LEGO building at the library! Keiki are welcome to let their imagination run wild during this open play time, where LEGO bricks are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The fun starts at 2 pm right after pre-K releases and goes until 3:30 pm. Keiki can drop in anytime during that time.

Please make sure young children are accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver to join in.

This is a great opportunity for kids to create all kinds of things—like buildings, cars, or anything they dream up—while also practicing problem-solving and fine motor skills. The event is relaxed and friendly, all about sparking creativity, working together, and having fun. It’s a perfect way to unwind and enjoy some playtime after a day at school!

Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.
