A few months ago, I found out about a LEGO DUPLO contest in which 200 of the most-voted libraries could win early literacy toolkits that include the beloved blocks. I nominated the Modesto Library and advertised a little on my personal Facebook page, but then I emailed the gal who does publicity for the Stanislaus County Library about it, and she emailed her supervisor about it. They decided to go for it, even though we only had several weeks and there were libraries with a crazy amount of votes already. The library made in-house flyers for our regular Wiggle Worms (story time for babies through age 2) and StoryTime (story time for kids ages 3-6) customers and also advertised through Facebook.
Well, I am pleased to announce that the Modesto Library was the 85th most nominated library with 718 votes! We haven't received our toolkits yet, but I'm excited to incorporate LEGO DUPLO blocks into Spanish and bilingual story time.
