Junior Maker Faire – Lego style
Looking for a way to keep those minds and fingers busy during the dark days of winter? Well look no more! Thanks to a partnership with the Timberland Regional Library, the Youth Services team at the Washington State Library has a “toolkit” which contains 10,000 Lego® bricks, and an activity guide full of programming ideas which can be sent to your library to provide a free STEM program for kids. Just imagine what a wonderful time grade school kids (and their parents) will have building with this kit at your library.

If your library serves a population under 25,000 and would like to host a Legos program, you may sign up to have the Legos box come to your library for a two week stay and play, free of charge. When your time is up, Library Development will pay for the box to be shipped to the next library.
To request the kit email Marilyn Lindholm at [email protected]. Requests will be processed on a first come, first serve basis.
Libraries who have signed up so far:
Sedro-Woolley City Library
