Volunteers fill a vital and essential role at the Rehoboth Beach Library and allow the library to function at a much higher level of service than would be possible with paid staff alone. Volunteers are present within the library on a daily basis to assist with circulation, maintain inventory, and mend books. The library currently enjoys the help of over 20 volunteers.

Rehoboth Beach Library is privileged to have an elite group of volunteers referred to as “Shelf Elves.” Our Shelf Elves agree to devote 1/2 hour of their time per week to help keep the library’s bookshelves organized. The day and time is at the discretion of the elf.

It is the responsibility of the Shelf Elf to keep the books neat and in order according to the Dewey Decimal System.

For their work, the Shelf Elves receive the staff’s eternal gratitude.

Due to a recent influx of item donations, the Rehoboth Beach Public Library cannot accept donations at this time. Our librarians must sort, catalog, and sell what we have before accepting additional contributions. Thank you for your support and generosity; please check back at a later date.

Honor someone special in your life and help the library, too! Each card has minimum donation of $5 per card. The funds are to help the general operation of the library.

Honor cards are available for purchase at the Rehoboth Beach Public Library during normal business hours.The Rehoboth Beach Public Library does not keep record of the honor cards purchased, sent, or received.
