Camberley Library will host two stop-motion LEGO film workshops this August, giving children aged 8 to 11 the chance to turn plastic bricks into animated stories. The sessions are part of Surrey County Council Libraries summer activities programme at 1 Knoll Road and tie into the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, which launched on 4 July.
The library describes the hour-long workshops as a way to “turn bricks into stories and learn stop-motion film-making piece by piece.” Each session takes place at 11am on Thursday 13 August and Thursday 27 August, with tickets costing £3 per child. Because the two dates repeat the same content, families only need to book one.
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge carries a “Read to the Beat” theme, linking storytelling with rhythm and sound. Children can complete the challenge by reading six books or reaching six reading goals between 4 July and 12 September, earning a certificate and a colourful wristband. The programme—delivered in partnership with The Reading Agency and powered by Universal Music UK—uses fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels and audiobooks to help maintain reading confidence during the long break.
The LEGO sessions follow a six-week refurbishment at Camberley Library that ran from 22 June to 4 July and paused regular children’s events. The Knoll Road building also runs a weekly Saturday LEGO club for 7 to 11-year-olds with a suggested £1 donation, while other Surrey branches host Beat Maker Labs where Surrey Arts leads digital music workshops.
