Lego Masters NZ finalist, entertainer and entrepreneur Jonathan “Brick” Samson is enjoying his “artist in residence” role at the HB Williams Memorial Library. And he’s happy to chat to anyone about his Lego passion which has made him world-famous in New Zealand after his appearance in the TV2 series Lego Masters NZ. Jono will be based at the library until November 4.

People are welcome to go along, have a chat and watch him in brick-building mode on the following days — Tuesday 4.30pm to 6.30pm; Thursday 2.30pm to 4.30pm; Saturday 10.30am to 12.30pm. Meanwhile, he has been busy building a Lego version of the library.
