MILFORD — The Milford Public Library will host the following events in November:

Build New Creations With The Lego Crew

Children and teens can explore their creativity and improve their STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills during Lego Crew from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 10.

Lego Crew is a fun, relaxed way to play with hundreds of Legos while improving tactile skills and exercising their creativity.

“Lego Crew is a great way for kids to use their imaginations,” said Milford Public Library staff member Shari Lambert, who runs the club.

Youth are welcome to build whatever they want from the hundreds of Legos available. All Legos are provided and there is plenty for everyone. Attendees are also welcome to play with a cool Lego train.

Teens and children older than six years old are welcome to play with the Legos. Children younger than six years old must be accompanied by an adult. Younger builders will have the option to play with Duplos, which are oversized Lego bricks.

The crew meets the second Saturday of each month from September to May. No registration or library card is needed. For more information, call (574) 658-4312 or e-mail [email protected].

Story Time

Children ages three to six will create a “Hello Fall” sign, eat a squirrel snack mix, and enjoy stories on Wednesday, Nov. 7, and Thursday, Nov. 8.

The main goal of Story Time is to encourage a love of learning, books, and the library in children ages three to six. The library staff wants the library to be a safe and welcoming place for children, and Story Time is full of fun activities.

Sessions are available at 10:15 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays or at 7 p.m. Thursdays. No library card is needed. Register now by calling (574) 658-4312 or e-mailing [email protected].

Teen Book Club

Teens in grades six through 12 are invited to Teen Book Club at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, to discuss the book “Everland” by Wendy Spinale. Bring a friend and enjoy free snacks. In this Peter Pan adaptation, London has been destroyed by a disease that only children have survived, among them, Gwen Darling and her siblings Joanna and Mikey. However, when Captain Hook and his crew kidnap Gwen’s sister Joanna, the Darlings must team up with Pete, his Lost Boys, and sharpshooter Bella to get her back. Will the teens survive and find a cure for the disease? Find out and join the discussion on Nov. 10.

Help choose what is read each month by joining the Teen Book Club. For more information, call (574) 658-4312 or e-mail [email protected].
