How long is this going to be up for? As long as it comes down before BrickFair VA, I can use the Hoth Baseplates but I also do have some extra white ones so can just use those.
So for the sake of the diagram, I think some white caves with the color bricks coming out between 4 and 5, 6 and 3 and 1 and 2 will work, “spreading” to all the other areas. Could even “connect” them to the white building in the center.
Not sure when BrickFair is but Library Tear down is early August I believe. Certainly we have it down well before School starts up again.
BrickFair is the first weekend in August…so no using the Hoth plates lol but that’s ok I have enough others.
Yes, you would not want to use Hoth plates if you need them for Brickfair. Tear down will be middle of August, exact date TBD.
I made a sign for the Cranberry Library display using the “Color our World” theme. Hopefully we can find a place for it to fit in the display case. It’s 3 baseplates wide by a half baseplate tall (96 studs wide by 16 studs tall) and it has a stand.
@dwgrier that is Awesome! A perfect MOC for this display. We will put that right up front.
One additional thought regarding installation – the first items to go in should be anything hanging. So @tbrown00 your butterflies, etc. first so that you don’t need to try to maneuver around anything already on the floor of the case.
I will probably install the butterflies ahead of the main install thus removing one step for people to wait on, particularly if we are doing morning of the 31st. Depending on when install happens I may leave a vase of flowers in there as well. How big is the top of that white building? Just so I know how big we are talking. Although I may talk with Madison about modifying the flowers into an arrangement instead. …More stability and potentially more color.
For the Cranberry library display, today I finished a green, open-studs version of the LUG logo. It has lettering on all four sides.
If anyone has sunflowers to lend to the display, there is room to add them in.
This logo covers a single baseplate … I suggested previously someplace in row 4-5, but it can go anywhere that works.
@greg the Logo looks fantastic!
Thanks Tim, with minor modifications it can be used for St. Patrick’s Day / H&G Show next year! As previously mentioned, there are spots for more flowers if available.
For reference. Both large windows fit about 5 32×32 baseplates. The small one fits 2. The middle can fit another ~3 with a bunch of 16 stud wide spaces filling the gaps. Anything yellow here are irregular gaps in increments smaller that 16 stud so use caution when planning for them. Keep in mind this is best of my ability based one the measurements I took and expect some small about of margin of error in the spacing. Mainly with regards to where regions 3 and 4 meet since there’s no buffer there.
Thus person A could say something like I’m building to fill the space in region 3 and I’m building to a depth of X from the window. That would let person B who claims area in region 4 or 6 to adjust the size they plan to claim to account for the already claimed space in region 3. Also doesn’t have to be 1 person per region or vice versa. Can claim half a region, or more than one region. If you are building high (let’s say in excess of 3′), please note roughly how high as that can affect suspended build placement.
I still have a MILS setup for the 1-5 area. Fits great in there and easy to build onto.
Honestly not sure what to add in here. I am having a bit of trouble visualizing in my head how this is coming together now and what is needed.
@timf, can you give any guidance/inspiration on what is needed, wanted, left for room?@tcsbgdady I don’t think there will be cohesiveness, just a lot of color
the Spring display at the Penn Hills library seems to already meet the goal! (Louise M DeRenzo would have been impressed)

We are going to use loose bricks in monochrome “rivers” or “pools” and tie together whatever builds everyone does. So you can do monochromatic builds or multi-color builds. For example, I am using my large white building as a pedestal for flowers. I think I will also add in my Steamboat Willie set since it is black and white. Tim Brown has multicolored butterflies.
So for the sake of the diagram, I think some white caves with the color bricks coming out between 4 and 5, 6 and 3 and 1 and 2 will work, “spreading” to all the other areas. Could even “connect” them to the white building in the center as I have the blue baseplate you claimed @timf at the center by the ones I am taking if that works for everyone.

I will use the MILS plate I have to fill up between 1-5. Similar in size to the castle/mountain build last year. It will be a green hill with a gold top that will fill in that weird side with half a pole and a window no one looks through. So I would say after 5 there and after 1 seems fine. If I am visualizing what you are saying correctly! 🙂
I am trying to use all green and all pearl gold. But there may need to be green variants if I run out of parts in there. I’ll do my best to be monochromatic if folks prefer that.
So you would take 5 and then the one to the left of it? And 1 and to the left of it? That works, I would be the green to the right of 5 and the blue the right of 1 and also 6.

Looking forward to that!
Here’s what I’m bringing for the Cranberry Library display. It’s my M.C. Escher’s “Relativity” MOC, but I’ve “colorized” it by replacing most of the grayscale minifigs with a variety of monochrome minifigs, plus a few other things to add some color like a small library. You could say it’s now “Color M.C. Escher’s World, Relatively Speaking”!!
It’s a single MILS’d 32×32 baseplate, stands about 13″ high, and can go wherever we think it fits best in the display.
I also have (4) 20″x10″ and (2) 10″X10″ risers that are 3″ high and painted dark brown that I can bring if we want to raise some of the MOC’s up off of the floor of the display case and get them above the “rivers of colors” that we’re going to add in between.
I do not know if this was changed with the recent renovation, but the library had a smaller display case near the entrance. If they still do, we could put an advertisement for our larger display out there.
“Come see the Summer Reading LEGO Display, Color Your World, in the Children’s Library!”
If not, just put this pack of jumbo crayons in the display somewhere.
