Douglas County Public Library hosting annual Winter Lego Building Challenge

Put your master Lego builder skills to the test in the Douglas County Public Library’s Winter Lego Building Challenge..

Children, teens, and adults are invited to build an original Lego brick structure to enter in the contest, which runs from Dec. 17 to Jan. 3. This year’s theme is “Building Dreams.”

Children who want to use the library’s bricks can come to the Minden or Zephyr Cove library on Saturday, Dec. 17 from 2 to 3 p.m. and build their entries.

The rules and entry forms can be found at the library or on the library’s Youth Services web page. Bring your creation and your completed entry form to the Minden or the Zephyr Cove library. Each participant is allowed one entry.

Creations will be entered in one of six categories based on the builder’s age, or families can enter a Family Build together. All participants under the age of four must use DUPLO bricks. Entries cannot exceed 16 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 12 inches high.

Participants are asked to not use special characters like Batman, Star Wars, etc. Winners will be announced on Jan. 18.
