The support of the library's patrons, who bought 766 tickets, made for a successful event netting over $11,000 to help fund the library's many free programs and services.

Fundraisers, annual appeals and endowment contributions all go toward keeping the doors open and offering the wonderful programs and services available to the Lewes community.
