Come and join in the fun at our awesome LEGO club.

At our LEGO Club sessions children will be given a theme to build their creation – imagination and open-ended play improves literacy and language skills and aids a child’s development.

This is suitable for primary aged children – we also have DUPLO available for smaller kids.

LEGO Club at our Raglan Library runs on the first and third Saturday of each month (during school term), 10-11am.

No sign up required, just turn up on the day!
