Want to join a Bluffton Lego club?

You can, but you need to be either age 1 through fifth grade to join. (Do we detect a lot of moaning among adult viewers?)

The Bluffton Public Library summer reading program, “Fizz, Boom, Read,” hopes to launch a Lego club called “Brain Builders,” according to Esther Birkey, youth services coordinator. That club is for kindergarteners through grade five.

“We want to promote constructive play and early engineering skills,” she told The Icon.
