The Pennsylvania Treasury's Bureau of Unclaimed Property lists local organizations and businesses with money due them—and there might be some out there for you, too.

Dormont Library will enter a new chapter in summer reading programs with this year’s nighttime and dream-based themes. Library Director Cindy D’Agostino said the themes have something from all ages, and she’s looking forward to seeing how children and young adults make the program work for them.
