From the Pierce County Library System:

Playing with blocks will help children develop learning skills during free events at Pierce County Libraries. The Pierce County Library Foundation sponsors these free events.

Building with blocks develops a child’s math and science skills during playtime. Parents and caregivers are invited to bring children to a block party and build, talk, explore and create together.

Sumner Pierce County Library is one of seven libraries hosting block play. Sessions are Saturday Jan. 26 at 1 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 26 at 4 p.m., Tuesday March 26 4 p.m., Saturday April 27 at 1 p.m., Saturday May 11 at 1 p.m., and Saturday June 1 at 1 p.m. The Sumner library is located at 1116 Fryar Avenue.

Block play sessions will also be hosted at the Fife, Gig Harbor, Key Center, Lakewood, Parkland/Spanaway and South Hill Pierce County Libraries. Please contact those locations for their times and dates.
