The 2026 summer reading theme for the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is “Unearth a Story,” which focuses on dinosaurs, paleontology, and archaeology. The slogan, “Unearth a Story,” invites layered interpretations, encouraging readers to discover the joy of reading, uncover history, or explore the past.

@tbrown00 will you already have your butterflies hung up before Saturday?

Is anyone else planning on taking stuff to the Library before…Read more

@greg the Logo looks fantastic!

One additional thought regarding installation – the first items to go in should be anything hanging. So @tbrown00 your butterflies, etc. first so that you don’t need to try to maneuver around anything already on the floor of the case.

@rcgrier3406 that sounds perfect!

Here’s the link to the Google.doc spreadsheet again for claiming display space.

You’re welcome, @dwgrier

let me know if there are any issues!

and I saw you used it while I was writing it, @tbrown00 😀 thanks for the extra validation when I went in to make sure user…Read more

@tbrown00 the build event starts at 6:00 pm tonight at the Library. We do not need to take anything but I will likely bring a few small MOCs. I’m sure the kids would love to see some of your…Read more

Should I bring ‘em tomorrow to Brickfest for setup?

@tbrown00 I used “could” for this exact reason. The only one I would shy away from is the plane. That would be better for a Custom Airshow build challenge (maybe sometime soon!). Now a jet powered car? Check! A car that transforms into a plane??…Read more

@tbrown00 and @willmcdine, did you still want to send something? I think Cameron is the only one from the LUG who is attending this year. I’ll let Andi know as well,…Read more

@tbrown00 thanks for the heads-up!

Final results back from the Library event:

– The fundraiser brought in about $1500, after expenses, $1300. This was the library’s biggest fundraiser in its history – which is great.
– The event got coverage across social media, televised news, and more.
– Perhaps…Read more

For what it’s worth, I think @hacim and @tbrown00 are from Cranberry.

Nice little piece on WJAC about it: https://wjactv.com/news/local/local-volunteer-fire-department-hosts-showcase-of-lego-creations-to-raise-money

@timf and @tbrown00 If you get a chance, could you please take a few photos of the setup tomorrow? You can post them here, on Flickr, or text me. Thanks so much!

@tbrown00 Thanks so much! Honestly, anything that you have would be fine. You may want to connect with @willmcdine. They were very interested in his fire trucks (being as they’re a Fire Department) and he mentioned he’d be able to send. I can also…Read more
