LEGOs Club for Kids is a new initiative at the Albert Church Brown Memorial Library for ages 6-18 (and for adults who may be interested). The Clubs will begin in April, with the younger group meeting late morning and older group meeting early afternoon on Saturdays, start date and time TBD. Participants must have a library card and sign a release, as described below. Children ages 6-10 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants may not bring their own LEGOs, nor may they take any off-site. Please fill out the form below. Be sure to indicate if you are currently a library cardholder or if you need to be issued one. We do have limited space so it will be first come first serve. If there is enough interest we may make two groups two accommodate. We are looking for adults and teenagers who would be interested in volunteering to help run it as well. If you are interested in volunteering you can email us at chinalibraryacb@gmail.com or visit us at the library. We are also looking for clean LEGO donations they may be dropped off at the library or left in a bag in the book drop box.

It’s not too late for your students with disabilities to sign up for summer camp!

Pine Tree Camp is Maine’s only American Camp Association-accredited camp exclusively serving children with disabilities. No camper is ever turned away due to their ability to pay. Thanks to our donors, 100% tuition assistance is available to any camper.

Our week-long overnight summer camp sessions are designed for kids living with a full range of physical and intellectual disabilities (ages 8 to 18).

Spots are filling quickly, but we still have room for your students to register!

I’ve attached a flyer with more information.

You can also learn more on our website https://pinetreesociety.org/camp-home/

Thank you again for your consideration of sharing this information with your families and helping make this a summer of barrier-free fun and friendship for kids with disabilities in our community.

We look forward to welcoming your students to Pine Tree Camp!
