The Ressler Mill Foundation awarded a grant of $3,000 to the Pequea Valley Public Library (PVPL) at the end of 2021.

Catherine O'Sullivan, director of PVPL, reported that the foundation asked that the funds be used to purchase books and/or technology. O'Sullivan plans to use the money for areas of the library's collection that she feels need attention, such as costly large-print books. She also plans to update nonfiction collections for adults at PVPL and at the Salisbury Branch of the library located at Houston Run. She noted that the funds will help her to purchase items that are relevant and that she is very grateful for the grant. Books purchased using grant funds will have a book plate inserted inside the cover to acknowledge that the purchase was made possible due to the generosity of Ressler Mills.
