Pike County Libraries

We had a brick-tastic time at Building Together: A LEGO Father’s Day Event! Families teamed up to tackle LEGO challenges, create custom minifigures, and make lasting memories together.

Love LEGO? Don't miss the LEGO Brick Mobile, coming to all Pike County Public Library branches June 29–July 1!

Roar into the library this week! Kids who check out 3 books at any Pike County library location will earn a cuddly dinosaur plushie while supplies last. Check out the flyer to see all the prehistoric prizes waiting to be discovered this summer!

The Brick Mobile is coming back to Pike County libraries this summer with a hundred thousand LEGO® bricks!

This program for Lego enthusiasts has two components: the first 45 minutes will consist of a Tower Tumbler guided build with a Master Builder for ages 4 and up, which teaches basic architecture design and tower building skills. Then it’s Open Build, with thousands of bricks, a race car ramp with chassis library, and the Tower Tumbler table.

Book lovers got crafty at Phelps Library this week! Participants transformed old books into unique decorative vases, creating some beautiful pieces.

Check out these hand sewn felt dinosaur chicken nuggets (and ketchup packet!) left in the Free Little Art Gallery at Elkhorn City Public Library! June’s theme is Dinosaurs. Take a piece, leave a piece!

Stop by the Pike County Public Library and snap a photo at our Father’s Day Selfie Station! Grab a prop, strike a pose, and make a fun memory with Dad.

It’ll be here throughout the month of June!

On June 16 & 17, the library will be transformed into a mini museum with real dinosaur fossils and hands-on science experiments at the Dino Lab! Young paleontologists will touch a real dinosaur egg, a Spinosaurus tooth, a Triceratops tooth, and fossilized dinosaur p**p. Kids will also discover why the dinosaurs might have gone extinct as we launch a meteorite with a flash. We’ll also float a giant bag filled with “dino breath” above our heads to better understand the average length of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
