“Arrive ten minutes early to secure a parking spot close to the entrance.”
Building Club is a free, drop-in construction program for children at the Southgate Community Library in Raleigh. Kids can use LEGO bricks, Keva planks, and other building materials to design their own structures during this informal afternoon session. This event is designed for children from preschool age through fifth grade. There is no cost to attend, and all building materials are provided by the library. The Southgate branch has a dedicated parking lot with free parking, making it easy to get kids in and out of the building quickly. It is an ideal Friday afternoon stop because it gives kids a creative outlet to unwind after the school week. Since the program is self-directed, children can work at their own pace while parents supervise and chat in a relaxed, indoor setting.

Nothing but the kids — this one's free, with no tickets to buy.
Last year's free and reduced-price meal benefits do not roll over — they expire on a date set by your child's WCPSS calendar, and traditional-calendar families have until October 6, 2026. A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
