A local business is offering encouragement for kids to participate in summer reading programs at Butler County libraries.
According to the Butler County Tourism and Convention Bureau, the Snowman in Portersville has donated 50 $5 gift certificates to nine local libraries as part of the “Summer Reading is Cool” program.
The first 50 children that complete the summer reading program at one of these libraries (Butler Area Public Library, Cranberry Public Library, Evans City Public Library, Mars Area Public Library, North Trails Public Library, Prospect Community Library, Slippery Rock Community Library, South Butler Community Library, and Zelienople Area Public Library) according to the criteria of each library’s program will receive a $5 gift certificate.
The Snowman in Portersville is an independently family-owned roadside attraction that has been providing season sweet treats just outside of Moraine State Park for the past 11 years.
