The Kapolei Public Library is proud to host another fantastic display by the LEGO Enthusiasts Association of Hawaiʻi (LEAHI).  Their brick creations, designed specifically for our Summer Reading Program “Libraries Rocks!” theme, are on display in glass cases on both floors until June 30.

There is a special added feature to one of the amazing creations.  In the first floor case, reflected in the “concert” creation are 18 vignettes of songs and 1 iconic rock band.  If you can spot and name them all (or be the person with the most correct answers), you may win a $25.00 gift card!  In the case of a tie-breaker, the winner will be determined by a lucky drawing.  The display and contest ends on June 30 and the winner will be contacted on July 02.

~~Brief brick fact:  Did you know that “LEGO” is derived from the Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”?~~

Play well, play hard, and have a great summer!

The contest is sponsored by our Friends of the Library Kapolei.
