Deal of the Day: This top-rated Lego set is half off right now — its lowest price ever
Lego sets are an NBC Select-reader favorite for a lot of reasons. They're incredibly giftable and they allow builders of all ages to exercise creativity in their free time. Fortunately, Lego just put its popular Creative Brick Box on sale for almost half off, which is its lowest price ever. The box has almost 500 building bricks and other pieces to build mini sets, cars, animals and other figurines.
Lego's Classic Medium Creative Brick Box measures at around 14 x 7 inches, so it's around the size of a small storage box, with enough space to hold all of its 484 pieces. The set has both flat baseplates and cube-shaped interlocking pieces, small wheels for building trains and cars, pieces for making animals and more, all in 35 different colors. The back of the box also has a visual outline of everything in the box and photos to provide inspiration for creations, so it's easy to see everything at a bird's eye view.

Hay bales, frozen turkey and false teeth among 'surprising' items lost on coaches
Hay bales, a frozen turkey and false teeth are among the 'surprising' lost property items found on Megabus coaches. The coach operator revealed some of the items left on its vehicles over the years after the lost property office in Glasgow was contacted about 469 lost items. The items found in May included a guitar, Lego sets, a Winnie the Pooh, a jar of honey, insulin, an electric shaver, a historic coins and stamps collection, a Radiohead vinyl, a Neil Diamond CD and a lone trainer. However, the bus operator said those aren't the most 'surprising' items left on their coaches over the years. The lost property team have dealt with many 'weird and wonderful' items with one of the strangest being three bales of hay. Other highlights have included a cooking wok, false teeth, family tree documents, lone shoes and socks, and even a whole frozen turkey. Megabus said 95% of the items reported were reunited with their owners, and those not claimed are kept for 28 days and often donated to charity. Megabus receptionist Angela said: 'Over many years of dealing with an eclectic mix of lost property items, our lost property team have almost become immune to weird and wonderful finds, but we still get something handed in that surprises us every now and again. She added: 'The most important thing, of course, is to try and make sure we can reunite as many of the items as possible with their owners, and we work hard to do that as we know how frustrating and upsetting it can be to lose something while travelling.'

National Library of Scotland unveils centenary exhibition
To host the organisation, the library's exhibition space at George IV Bridge has been transformed into a reading room filled with recommendations from the public and some of Scotland's best-known faces. Western Hails librarian Jessi Dimmock reading to Jo Stevenson and three-year-old Sonny (Image: Neil Hanna) Amina Shah, national librarian, said: "Developing this exhibition has been a labour of love for us, as we have chosen to use our centenary year to shine a spotlight on the power of libraries. "We kicked off our 'Love Libraries' campaign in February, which shouts about all the great work libraries and librarians do. "This exhibition complements the campaign. "Libraries change lives. "They empower individuals and the communities they belong to." "The library sector has a proud shared history of working together to make sure everyone can benefit from access to information, stories, culture and knowledge – from school libraries to universities, mobile libraries to specialised archives – many of whom have contributed to this exhibition. "We expect library fans and book lovers will visit this exhibition multiple times – there's so much to celebrate and discover.'

The books featured were suggested through a public call-out for the books that shaped people's lives. They also include recommendations from Damian Barr, Val McDermid, Alan Cumming, Gemma Cairney, Sir Ian Rankin, Lauren Mayberry, and Pat Nevin. The exhibition also showcases the role of libraries and librarians in popular culture, banners, and badges used in protests against library closures, and vintage film footage of libraries from the past. There is plenty for children too, with a Bookbug trail, a Lego model of a library, and a makerspace where people can create their own library card or placard. Kirsten MacQuarrie from CILIPS (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in Scotland), next to the protest banner she has loaned to the National Library of Scotland's Centenary exhibition Dear Library (Image: Neil Hanna) Specialist libraries from across the country have loaned items to the exhibition, including: the Glasgow Women's Library, The Nature Library, Making Public's Press (formerly Skye Zine Library), Innerpeffray Library, and the Library of Mistakes. These items show the variety of things libraries collect, including a bird's nest and rare books from Scotland's first free public lending library. Angus Robertson, Culture Secretary, said: "The National Library has been a cornerstone of our nation's cultural life for generations. "This exhibition is a direct reflection of the impact libraries have had, bringing together just some of the books and objects that have helped to shape our country and the people who live here. "Whether you are a regular borrower or first-time visitor, I would encourage everyone to visit this remarkable exhibition and re-discover the profound impact that libraries have had on our lives and communities." Teresa Elsmore with a Lego library model which forms part of the National Library of Scotland's centenary exhibition (Image: Neil Hanna) Dear Library opens on Friday, June 20, and will run until April 2026. Entry is free and the exhibition is open during library hours, Monday to Saturday. Further details of the Library's centenary celebrations are available to view on the National Library of Scotland website.
