      <image:title>Blog - Legos @ the Library: How to Host Your Own LEGO Club - Although it might seem daunting at first, hosting library events like LEGO Club at a bar, park or local community center is a great way to get out into the community and showcase all that your library has to offer, especially to those who aren’t already regularly coming into your building. The set up for each of my LEGO clubs is the same. I set up two long tables with chairs surrounding each table (around 10-15 chairs per table). On those tables, we set down one craft tray per seat. Then we have two additional tables where we set out giant bins of LEGO bricks for folks to come and take back to their seats. I use about 3-4 of these bins and sort the LEGO bricks into them (One for people, one for flat bricks, one for wheels, one for trees, specialty bricks, etc).</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Legos @ the Library: How to Host Your Own LEGO Club - We always open LEGO Club up with 2-3 timed, open-ended, building challenges to get everyone’s creative juices flowing. They’re usually super broad, so folks aren’t limited on what they can build. A few examples of challenges are: Build something you can find in an airport Build something you can find at the grocery store Build a number Build something using only one color Build your favorite late night snack We generally give folks between 5-8 minutes per challenge, depending on what they are. However, the sky's the limit with these warm ups and folks seem to have a lot of fun with. People are really creative when you give them something simple, so don’t worry about thinking of something complex. Sometimes we keep them in theme with our Main Challenge, but it really depends on how we’re feeling. While folks are building, we walk around and peek at what they’re doing.</image:title>
