Volunteering

The Lewes Public Library depends on our volunteers to help provide the extent of services we offer our Library customers. We have approximately 50 volunteers who help with circulation and another 50+ who help with operations, Board activities, and fundraising events. With annual circulation of 200,000 items and customer traffic average of 700 people a day, we couldn’t do it without our dedicated volunteers.

PLEASE NOTE: New volunteers are brought in on an as needed basis. Volunteer opportunities arise when there is turnover and/or new programming. When you submit an application, we hold onto your information and notify you when there is a training scheduled for any new openings. There may be a significant lag in the time from when you express interest in volunteering to when we need a new volunteer.

Download an Application for Volunteer Service – Applications also can be found at the Circulation Desk in the Library.

Volunteers are used in the following positions:

New volunteers are required to attend a three-hour volunteer training session and participate in on-the-job training with staff and experienced volunteers.

To learn more about volunteer opportunities please contact Tracy Dietz, Volunteer Coordinator, at (302) 645-2733, ext. 4138 or email.
