A 5-year-old boy sells lemonade to help fund York County Libraries after budget cuts

Ulysses Stoutenburg, 5, of Spring Garden Township, is concerned that York County government is cutting $300,000 from the county library budget.

So, on a warm Wednesday this week, he set up a lemonade stand in front of his Colonial Avenue home – where York College students stream by to campus.

The lemonade was free, but all donations go to the library system.

Ulysses squeezed 18 lemons and mixed the drinks himself. He said his lemonade is so good it will make your head explode.

Ulysses' mom Heather wrote this on YDR's Facebook page after a photo of the lemonade stand was shared there:

"Thank you all for your support! Ulysses had such a great time chatting with each and every person who stopped by. We made a total of $98.18 in cash for the libraries in the 6 hours we were open! We will keep the paypal donation option open until 9 a.m. on Friday 5/4 because we will be participating in Give Local York and donating all the funds to the York Libraries. My paypal for any donations is heatherstoutenburg@gmail.com. Thanks for coming along side us!"
