COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) is celebrating summer reading with a magical LEGO display in the atrium of its Main Library (96 S. Grant Ave.). Through Aug. 8, customers can visit the zoo… at the library!

The display, painstakingly created over the course of many months by approximately 40 members of the Ohio LEGO Users Group (OhioLUG), honors central Ohio’s own Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. “Many of the habitats are even based on their real-life counterparts, but with an imaginative LEGO twist!” says Steve Jogan, OhioLUG president.

Customers and LEGO lovers of all ages are invited to view the display through Aug. 8. While at Main Library, customers can also sign up for CML’s Summer Reading Challenge and earn prizes just by reading.

OhioLUG is a group of adults based in Ohio that have (re)discovered the joy of building creations out of the popular LEGO brand building blocks. Visit ohiolug.org to learn more.

Columbus Metropolitan Library has served the people of Franklin County, Ohio since 1873. With its Main Library and 22 branches, CML is well known for signature services and programs like School Help, Reading Buddies, Summer Reading Challenge and Ready for Kindergarten. The library’s Strategic Plan supports the vision of “a thriving community where wisdom prevails,” which positions CML to respond to areas of urgent need: kids unprepared for kindergarten, third grade reading proficiency, high school graduation, college and career readiness and employment resources.
