Moray: Build-A-Story Lego Sessions - Booking open Weds 11th Jan


Join us at Elgin Library for our free inspired Lego Build A Story activity programme! Builders will hear part of a story, and then will draw inspiration from it to make their own truly wonderful creations. Sessions are suitable for 7+ years only.

Sessions will run on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6.00 to 7.00pm. There will be two blocks: Block 1 will run from the end of January till the end of February, and Block 2 will run during March.

Spaces are limited and must be booked. You may only book for either Weds OR Fri in one block. Children are unable to attend both blocks. This is to increase the amount of children able to attend.

Contact staff on 01343 562600 or email elgin.lending@moray.gov.uk for more details or to book. Please don't forget to tell us your child's name and age, and a contact email.
