Library Staff Members at Greenvale School

Staff members Claudia and Kathy held a "Lego Camp" at the school between the Christmas and New Years holidays.
Here are the "campers" and the beginning of the town they created.  

Chelsea, Steven, Jasmine, Jennifer & Alex with the finished town.  There is a hot
tub, beach, haunted house, many air crafts, red hotel, park, and a tree house with zip line.  Pretty Cool!

Assignment: make an animal with at least 45 pieces.
Left to right a bird, an ostrich, a killer whale, a robotic dog, a robotic cat and a female giraffe.

Looking in books for inspiration then digging in the bins to create it.

REMINDER!!

The current library building at 210 Washington Street will be closed for renovation starting FRIDAY, July 3rd (we're closed for the Holiday that day).
 Library staff along with the help from many City of Northfield departments will move our interim library to city hall the week of July 6 through July 10th. We will open the interim library on MONDAY, July 13th on the second floor of city hall 801 Washington Street.  Phone numbers and email contacts will remain the same.
The 1910/1985 Library building will be under construction until early 2016.  We are excited for these new changes and the challenge of working in limited space!  Please feel free to interlibrary loan any items you want, the pick up point will be at the city hall library.  There will be nothing due the week we are closed for the move.
Booker, the Book Bus and the summer reading program will continue at the parks during this time.
