Jesse Hirte and her brother, Gatlin, play with Legos in the new Lego Makerspace at the Niagara Public Library.
The Niagara Public Library created a Lego Makerspace. It includes an Epic Lego Wall, a few books with building ideas, storage bins shaped like giant Legos, challenge cards, and of course, plenty of Legos.
​
The items for the Makerspace were purchased thanks to a grant from the Nicolet Federated Library System’s 2019 Library Improvement & Innovation Grant, which funds programs in the areas of workforce development, lifelong learning, and/or technology.

The library will happily accept donations of new and used Legos!
