Join us on Thursday, January 8, 2026 from 4:30-5:30pm for Lego Club here at the Fairbanks Branch Library! We will have Legos, mega blocks and magna tiles to build with. Come have fun! This program is for ages 6-11 but siblings are always welcome. We will meet inside the meeting room.

This program is normally held on the first Thursday of every month, but it's different for January due to the New Year's Day holiday. We're holding it on January 8th instead.

This program is provided in part by the generous support of the Friends of the Fairbanks Library.
