The events are designed to introduce new ways to learn and are for children under age 5. Look for them at these museums:

Nominate Your Library!
This summer, LEGO DUPLO and the Association of Library Services to Children kicked off a national program that lets parents support their local libraries by nominating them to receive special recognition. Visit readbuildplay.com to nominate your local library through Oct. 1, 2012. The most nominated library in the "Read! Build! Play!" project will receive $5,000 for books and supplies, and the top 200 libraries get LEGO DUPLO Read! Build! Play! toolkits with preschool books and LEGO bricks.
