SAXONBURG — The South Butler Community Library capped a successful fundraising campaign last week with a $10,000 check from PennEnergy Resoucres.

Amanda Peterson, stakeholder relations manager for the independent oil and gas company, presented the check to library board members Friday, Jan. 13 at the library, 240 W. Main St.

Kim Davidek, president of the board, said the library’s fundraising drive, from mid-November through the end of December, raised $21,750 from 207 donors.

“With our wonderful relationship with PennEnergy, we will make up to $10,000 from them,” Davidek said. “Our goal was $28,000. Thanks to everyone, we will have reached $31,750 with the check.”
