The Bartram Trail Branch Library received a colorful new addition this past weekend thanks to the efforts of a local Scout. Ethan Miller, age 16, completed his Eagle Scout service project on Sunday, March 9, installing a custom-built four foot by five foot LEGO wall and two custom-built LEGO tables for young patrons to enjoy.
The project, which took three months to complete, provides an interactive play space for children visiting the library. Miller received support from Home Depot at Durbin Park, which donated materials for the construction.
“I wanted to create something that would spark creativity and bring joy to kids at the library,” said Miller. “As someone who grew up playing with LEGO, I know how they can inspire imagination and problem-solving skills. Seeing the excitement on the children’s faces when they first saw the wall made all the hard work worth it.”
“We’re thrilled with Ethan’s contribution to our children’s area,” said a library representative. “The LEGO wall and tables will provide countless hours of imaginative play for our youngest patrons.”
The Eagle Scout rank is the highest achievement in the Scouting program, requiring candidates to plan and execute a service project that benefits the community. Miller’s project involved designing the structures, gathering materials, coordinating volunteers, and installing the finished pieces.
Miller anticipates receiving his Eagle Scout award on May 10, marking the culmination of his Scouting journey and his commitment to community service.
The Bartram Trail Library invites community members to visit and enjoy the new LEGO wall and tables during regular library hours.
