This award-winning artist is one of the most sought after custom Lego artists in the country. Cody's greatest joy comes from working with children. He works with schools, libraries, museums and private clients nationwide leading classes, giving talks, and inspiring the next generation of young minds. This year he is traveling across the country, visiting libraries and (along with creating original Lego creations) encouraging young people to make reading a part of their Summer Break. We're excited that we are able to make Ladd one of his 2 stops in Illinois. Be sure to drop by or call the Ladd Public Library at (815) 894-3254 to reserve your seat early.
