COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Metropolitan Library revealed its new LEGO display earlier this week, just in time for the start of the summer reading challenge.

The library’s giant LEGO display is located in the Main Library’s Grand Atrium next to the staircase. This year’s summer display features different scenes of “camp life.”

According to the library, the display was put together by a team of skilled LEGO enthusiasts called “OhioLUG.” The group shared a video of the display being set up. Many of the bigger pieces are set up ahead of time so during the day of the setup, items can quickly be placed.

Get ready for CML's Summer Reading Challenge with events at all 23 locations including our OhioLUG display at their main branch!
