About Emily Terifay

Hi! My name is Emily Terifay. I am a current student at Clarion University and studying to become a Librarian. I love books and reading, my favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi. I also have a mini library at my house and I add more books to it at least every two months. I also have two guinea pigs, Timothy and Lemon who are adorable, if not a little annoying at times.

Lego® Challenge

Take on our LEGO® building challenge! We provide the prompts, you provide the creativity. Creations can be displayed in the children’s room at the Riverton library! This event will be held on Tuesday, October 21st from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm!

Children will be given a specific theme or goal to create a project, either separately or together. Building with LEGO® supports skill building and problem-solving for children. All LEGO® bricks will be provided by the library. Please do not bring in LEGO® bricks from home.

This is best for kids 6-9, but all children are welcome.
