LEGO Donations Requested
|
If you've got a stash of well-loved LEGO®
gathering cobwebs, consider giving your
collection a new home at Cumberland Public Libraries. The library would like to start offering LEGO® programs using a collection that would rotate between the 7 libraries.
If you have LEGO® you'd like to give,
donations can be dropped off at any library branch.
