PAWTUCKET – Having spent much of his childhood at the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket, Lonnie Santiago Jr., 18, said he knew he wanted to give back to the club and saw his Eagle Scout project as the perfect way to do that.
Last Saturday, April 24, Santiago unveiled his finished project, a Little Free Library, outside of the club. Santiago built it from scratch, with help from his parents, Lonnie Santiago and Elizabeth Escalira, as well as members from Troop 18 in Pawtucket and some Scout leaders. The library is painted blue and has real shingles on its roof.
