The Lewes Public Library anticipates the needs of the community and adapts, creates and supports classes and programs for all ages that encourage a love of reading, exploration and discovery.  The Library provides access for a wide variety of educational, informational and recreational materials to all members of the community through traditional resources and emerging technologies.

The Lewes Public Library is an independent non-profit that resides under the umbrella of the Delaware Division of Libraries consortium. We are part of a 33 branch system, but operate autonomously. As an independent non-profit the LPL is only partially funded by governmental sources. Each year the LPL is responsible for raising approximately 50% of our operating budget.
