Expression of Interest: Lego Club ages 8-12

Maynooth Library have only a few spots remaining to take names for a brand new free play Lego club for ages 8-12. The idea is simple: the library provides the bricks and the space to play and you the club member provide the imagination and building! While there is staff supervision, members can build what they like once they share Lego with the other members. Children attending the lego club will need a parent/guardian to remain in the library for the duration of the club.Express your interest!
