Miss Valerie is the children’s librarian at the Bernal Heights Branch Library, and she wants to expand the library’s Lego Club program. To do that, she’s seeking donations of those magical plastic pieces to add to the club’s collection:

Got Legos!?!  Thinking of clearing out that closet, making a little more room in your basement or  converting that college-bound kid’s room into an office?  Bernal Heights Branch Library has a growing Lego Club and we NEED your old Legos.  The program is held once a month but  we want to have our program occur more frequently – especially during the summer months when we will host several Family Lego Nights. To make this happen we need  MORE LEGOS!!   All donations will become property of the library and will be used for library programs only.

What we need: Lego parts of all sizes and shapes, motors, gears, axles and battery packs – all things LEGO!

Who to contact: Valerie Reichert, Bernal Branch Children’s Librarian, vreichert@sfpl.org ; 415 355-5663.

Where to drop off:   Bernal Heights Branch Library Children’s Room,  500 Cortland between Andover and Moultrie.

Bonus: Here’s another vintage Lego advertisement, circa 1978, just because it’s awesome:
