Join us for the OhioLUG Lego Exhibit January 20-February 22 stop by the Champaign County Library to check out the HUGE Lego Exhibit created by OhioLUG. OhioLUG is a group of adults based in Ohio that have (re)discovered the joy of building creations out of the popular LEGO® brand building blocks. This is the same group that has brought displays to the local libraries the past few years including miniature versions of Crabill’s Hamburger Shoppe and the Depot Coffeehouse. The exhibit is free and will be available during normal business hours.
