MORE PROUD MOMENTS
FOR BPL! Video by our friends at MSU School of Information |
In April 2017, as part of National Library Week, we held Legopalooza. The goal of this afternoon of fun was for the kids to create a Lego community, to later be used by our very own Benzie Guild of Makers. The Maker group, made up of elementary students and led by high school students, created the following amazing film for your viewing pleasure. just click the link and enjoy!
