Meet our Volunteer of the Month
Barb Shelton
Barb has been a volunteer at the Lewes Public Library almost five years.
Barb says, "I think what I find most surprising (and heartening) is the large number of people that use the library for borrowing books or to take advantage of the many programs and classes offered by the library. From little children to teens to adults, the library is a source of education and fun for all.
There are two things I enjoy the most - being able to help a patron find whatever they’re seeking (books or general information) and introducing new volunteers to their tasks. I love working with people and being helpful when I can!"
