Northland Library reached out to me about doing a display during their LEGO Day on 12/27. They do have a display case so it wouldn’t need to be staffed. They’re also interested in running an adult course in the evening. I’m going to get a little more details, but I’m at least going to do this one.
It would need to be installed by the 27th. Looking at their event calendar, it looks like it would likely be the 27th before open or the 22nd (as they’re closed for the holiday until the 27th). I’ll get some more details.
Im interested in sending something up. If we cant put the display in until the 27th then I will have to leave my builds with someone else to take up. I could potentially do an earlier install depending on day/time.
@knb112, do you know which display case we’ll be getting?
So I need to head up there after Thanksgiving and sit down and talk with them more one-on-one. They’re a little unclear on what they want to do. Now, it may not be December and more like January. I’ll update as I have info.
However, a cool thing that a few LUGs have been doing is doing Literature Displays. The idea was inspired by Charm City LUG and is taking off. Here are a few of my favorites from MILUG. This could be a cool route to go in so that whenever they’re ready, we have something neat to put in. (not that we don’t already build neat stuff)
Very cool idea. Honestly, I kind of would like to see this pushed to Jan as I’ll be able to be more actively involved if that’s the case. Regardless, I’m all for supporting libraries.
Wow, I feel like my two hobby worlds are colliding and it’s awesome! I published two children’s picture books this year and have one more on the way this week! You can see the first book here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Michael-John-Marks-Spot/dp/B09TZBPXS8/ref=monarch_sidesheet?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=d0fd1637-6e2c-4944-88fb-7ae1d1f4894a
I’ve attached the second book cover here. I would love to make Lego MOCs for them!
I really like the Book idea. I have no idea which one I would build but I am interested none the less
@cybladez101 That’s so awesome! Congratulations!
I too really love the book theme. @amplef0rth already has built a Pigeon.
@amplef0rth Did you see The Pigeon Will Ride the Rollercoaster yet? Although The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog is a huge hit in our house too. 🙂
anything book related we could display at the many other libraries we’ve been at too. I haven’t talked to Bethel Park library in a while, but they always loved us throwing something in their small case. keep that in mind for this – seems like there’s a lot of interest in the topic, so don’t turn anyone away from the opportunity to display, we can just line up multiple/sequential places to display.

Exactly! So Charm City LUG does just this, lining up libraries to display at and takes it on the road. There’s a lot of potential for this. 🙂
On a related note, I do have an update on the display case.
Our display case is heavy plexiglass, like a giant upside-down fish tank. It is too heavy and awkward for anyone to lift on their own, so while it doesn’t lock, it is very secure. The case has at least 20″ of headroom, and is about the same dimension deep, but does not have shelves. I would estimate it is 34-40″ long.
I’ll try to swing by sometime this week and get a photo.
Ah. Wish I’d a known. I was just there today. Could have saved you the trip.
Aw, thanks @tbrown00. It’s no trouble though. My son’s preschool is across the street so I’m in the area like 4 times a week. 😂
