Family-owned dessert shop The Snowman, located just outside Moraine State Park for 12 years, has donated $5 gift certificates to the nine Butler County area libraries through the “Summer Reading is Cool” reward program.

Each library will award the first 25 children who complete its summer program, according to each library’s program criteria, a $5 gift certificate.

Participating libraries include 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.

Those interested in the program are advised to call their local Butler County library to get started.
