The Good Stuff - Page 7 - June 2010 It’s LEGO Building Time at the Minot Public Library!

By Paulette Nelson, Children’s Librarian I had decided that the club would meet on a Minot Public Library monthly basis, with members deciding on the day and time. In addition, each meeting would When I read the words, “Nothing attracts boys have a theme and photos would be taken of the like a LEGO” in the July, 2009 issue of School completed work and posted online. Since I had Library Journal, I never envisioned how true those no idea who might show up for the first meeting, words would be. First, we needed to come up I decided to have a free build for the monthly with LEGOs. Since we didn’t have money in our theme. budget to purchase the necessary LEGO sets for a club, I put out PSAs in our community soliciting Before the first meeting, one thing remained to gently used or new LEGOs. I had numerous be done. All of the donated bricks had to be inquiries about the club, but a meeting could sanitized. For weeks, my staff and I worked to not be scheduled until enough LEGOs had been wash and clean the boxes of LEGOs that the donated. In mid-December, a reporter from a library had received. I contacted a young patron local television station contacted me about the to ask how to sort all the bricks – by color, by club. When I informed her that we were still size, or by number of holes on the bottom of the looking for LEGOs, she came to the library and brick. He informed me that sorting should be did a story which resulted in enough LEGOs to done by number of holes. Sorting through the start the club. thousands of LEGOs took many hours. I decided

Finally, the night of the first meeting arrived and I was very surprised when over 60 dads and sons I would highly recommend starting a club in showed up for the first meeting. We had one your community. It’s relatively easy to start the dad and daughter and a few moms show up as club, especially if you can find one or two LEGO well. Those attending quickly filled out a survey enthusiasts to give you advice. I can assure you and then it was time to build.

Pictures were taken of creations that the children construct. every child’s finished product before the structures were disassembled and put back into the storage bins.

Since I asked for e-mail addresses in the initial survey, I can contact these people each month to remind them of the meeting. I have also sent flyers to all the schools announcing each month’s meeting. In February and March, over 100 dads, moms, and kids attended the meetings. February’s building theme was “Anything that Goes” and March’s theme was “Anywhere You Can Live.”

I have seen many benefits from having this club at the library. First, the majority of those attending are boys ages 5 through 9. The club has attracted many new people to the library and our circulation on LEGO days has increased, especially in the area of non-fiction. Children attending the meetings are challenged to build something different each month and they are not given any formal building plans. By having the children build something different each month, I

The Institute’s first book, River of Promise: Lewis and Clark on the Columbia by David L. Nicandri, made its debut in April.

The next book will be the memoirs of former North Dakota Governor George (Bud) Sinner, followed by the re-issue of Tracy Potter’s Sheheke: Mandan Indian Diplomat: the Story of White Coyote, Thomas Jefferson, and Lewis and Clark along with People of the Willows, with a new introduction by historian Robert Moore.

The Dakota Institute is a public humanities arm of the Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation. It hosts symposia, creates exhibits, publishes books, and creates documentary films, and will host a national humanities symposium on Eric Sevareid in October. Clay S. Jenkinson, humanities scholar, directs the Institute.

The Dakota Institute also has two documentary films to its credit. The first, When the Landscape Is Quiet Again: the Legacy of Art Link, was released in 2008. The second, a study of former North Dakota Governor William L. Guy, The Charisma of Competence, will be released in June.

Books In Print for North Dakota Correctional Libraries

Our North Dakota correctional libraries have many patrons who want to request books by author, title, and/or subject, but they don’t have reliable source Books in Print (BIP) to look up information. It would be helpful if the patrons had what they want instead of guessing at names and spellings, which can make filling interlibrary loan requests difficult.

Multiple copies of BIP are needed since there are several areas in a prison from which the prisoners are not allowed library access. The newer the copyright the better, but we could use any editions of BIP published in the last ten years (2000 to 2010).

Your gift would be appreciated and very well used.

What would North Dakota be like if there were no libraries? What valuable services do we provide on a daily basis that simply go unrecognized and unappreciated?

Those are the questions the North Dakota Library Association asked to encourage librarians to take a snapshot of a typical day in the life of North Dakota libraries. The project ran from April 1 through April 30, and the goal was to show how important libraries are in our communities and state. To see the photos and read the compiled statistics, go to http://ndla.info/snapshot/.
