LEGO® Junior Maker Club
Middletown Public LibraryLEGO® Junior Maker Club! Make, tinker, build, and explore with LEGO®. The Junior Maker club encourages children and families to take a hands-on, minds-on approach to "making" with the use of LEGO® bricks while tying in a love for reading. Hope to see you there! Made possible by a donation to the library by LEGO® Systems, Inc. and the Association for Library Services to Children. One of the generous supporters of our Children's Programs are the Middletown Odd Fellows and Rebekahs.
