LEGO Mania!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that the first legos created were in 1932 in Denmark? And did you know they were wooden? The meaning of the word "lego" is "play well" or "I put together". The plastic molding for the toys was created in the late 1940's. By 1955, legos were being manufactured and sold in the organized set. The toys have become so large, the first LEGOLAND was opened in Denmark. There are now LEGOLANDs in California and Windsor. Does
anyone have a favorite set?

Don't forget to come to the library to share your LEGO creations. LEGO Mania will be at the Yankee Clipper branch on Saturday, May 13 at 3:00 and at the Main Library on Thursday, May 18 at 7:00.

I love to see this history. I played with my father's legos from the 40's. They were wooden and so fun! Now my kids play legos almost daily.
