Today: Lego Club Challenge, Storytime and Draw, Paint & Learn the Egyptian Sphinx

It’s National Library Week and we’re celebrating virtually with fun, interactive challenges... and the chance to win an NMPL Hoodie sweatshirt!

Is this not the most aggressively 90s picture you’ve ever seen?! It’s #throwbackthursday and we want to see your vintage style! Dig back through the photo albums and show us your best looks from past decades! If you still have some of your old outfits, we challenge you to put them on yourself or the kids and show off your fabulous look!

Use the hashtag #throwbackthursday and send us those pics!

So we all know LEGOs are pretty amazing.  We've had a blast building all kinds of things out of them over the past few years of Open Lego Hour here at the library.  This week we want to challenge you to build a skyscraper!  You may not construct one as tall as the one in these picture but give yourself a challenge.  Can you build a tower as tall as your dog?  Taller than you? Higher than a piece of furniture?  Have fun with it and tag us in your pics.  We'd love to see what you come up with!

It's Storytime day! Join us for silly sing-along-songs and a fun story at 11am on Facebook live!

Did you know that the Egyptian Sphinx, a half man, half lion statue, was carved from a single piece of rock?! Learn more fun facts about the Egyptian Sphinx and then draw this ancient structure yourself at this fun interactive online program!
