We wrapped up March Break at the #Pictou Library with a fun-filled LEGO Storytime!

After reading stories about choosing the perfect pet, our young builders got creative and brought their dream pets to life with LEGO. Their imaginations truly blew us away.

This tree is growing with your stories of first library cards, first books, first moments of feeling like a reader. Libraries help those moments happen. Every time support for libraries is reduced, fewer of those beginnings take root.

Come into the #Pictou Library and add your story to our tree 🌱
