🧱 Brick by Brick: Berea Library’s LEGO Club+ Turns After-School Time into a “Brick Wall” of Creativity

Posted on by Chad Hembree

On winter afternoons when kids have energy to burn and parents are looking for something that doesn’t involve another screen, the Madison County Public Library’s Berea Branch has a simple answer: LEGO Club+.

The weekly program meets in the Berea branch Community Room on Thursdays from 4:00–5:00 p.m.—and the library’s pitch is exactly what it sounds like: they supply the bricks, kids supply the imagination.

🏗️ What Happens at LEGO Club+?

According to the library’s event listing, LEGO Club+ is designed for elementary-age builders and mixes free-building with a little structure:

  • Kids can build whatever their time and imagination allow
  • Each week includes an optional build challenge to spark ideas
  • When a build is finished, staff take a photo and add it to a “Brick Wall” display in the children’s area

That last part is a small detail with big kid appeal: it gives children a visible “gallery” of their work—something to point to the next time they walk into the library.

đź“… Upcoming Berea Dates

On the library’s “Upcoming Events” list, LEGO Club+ (Berea) appears on:

  • Thursday, Jan. 22 — 4:00–5:00 p.m.
  • Thursday, Jan. 29 — 4:00–5:00 p.m.

(The program listing also shows it as a repeating Thursday event.)

🏢 Countywide Note: Richmond Has LEGO Club+, Too

If your family bounces between towns for work, school, or errands, the Richmond branch also runs LEGO Club+—and the library’s description there emphasizes displaying creations in a display case.
