Shelly’s Corner

I am a 7-year-old Russian Tortoise who lives here at the Intercourse Library. My habitat was custom built for me by a patron named Mr. Cecil. When he would visit the library to borrow books, he noticed that I was living in a small tank and decided that I needed more space to run & play. So, he researched tortoises, drew a design, and started building. When it was done, he loaded it onto his truck,  brought it to the Library and I have lived in it happily ever since. Thank you, Mr. Cecil.

Stop by and see me when you visit the library! I love when my friends leave me notes and color me pictures!

How to Get a FREE Library Card

A library card for the Library System of Lancaster County will be issued without charge to any resident of Lancaster County who is five years old or more.

Applicants will need to produce proof of address from one of the following sources:
