PA Family Travel Fair Is Back BY ANN MEAD ASH
Wendy Royal, editor of Where & When Pennsylvania and organizer of the fourth annual PA Family Travel Fair, knows that if you want to interest families, you need to appeal to children. With that in mind, Royal has lined up a balloon magic show, a few lovable mascots, reptiles, and a special passport game with a prize designed to make children smile for this year’s fair. The fair, which was first held in 2018, was held virtually in 2020 and canceled in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, but for 2022, the free event will include exhibitors, amusements, food See Travel Fair pg 9

PVPL Returns To Original Moniker BY ANN MEAD ASH
atherine O’Sullivan, director of the library in Intercourse, does not know exactly why the library’s name was changed to Pequea Valley Public Library sometime after 2001. But she does know that when a suggestion
C
was made in 2021 to change the name back to Intercourse Library, the library board responded immediately, unanimously, and positively. The library was started by the Intercourse Lions Club working with the first director, Margie Perella, in 1975. “It was called the
Intercourse Library or Reading Center,” said O’Sullivan. The library operated as a satellite of the Lancaster County Library System, and the Pequea Valley School District gave the Lions permission to use a one-room schoolhouse on the corner of Old Philadelphia Pike and Hollander Road that had been
vacant for many years. The organization was incorporated as a nonprofit on July 25, 1988. In 1997, the library became independent of the county system. “In 2004, a capital campaign was launched to build the present library, which opened at 31 Center St., Intercourse, in 2007,” reported O’Sullivan.
