Newport — One Saturday each month, Richards Free Library on Main Street in Newport opens its doors — and its stockpile of Legos — for children and their parents to come in and make Lego creations together. When their work is all done, their constructions go up on display in the library.

On Jan. 19, librarian Janice Brehio caught the Lego construction workers in action.
