What to Expect
The kids' calendar here covers a wide slate: Baby and Me for the littlest, PAWS for Reading, Youth Chess Club, Junior Artists sensory art classes, Grab & Go STEM and Crafty Kids kits, and Anime Club and Video Game Night for older kids. Some run in season rather than year-round, so check dates before you plan around one.
The library sits in the center of downtown Rehoboth and says it serves summer visitors as well as year-round residents — visitors can get a guest pass good for 60 minutes of computer use, and the wi-fi is free.
The practical wins are parking and hours. There's a patron lot behind the building, 8:00am–8:30pm, which is worth a lot in July. But Sunday hours are summer-only, June 7 through August 30.
Who It's Best For
The slate runs from Baby and Me through PAWS for Reading, Junior Artists sensory art, Youth Chess Club, Grab & Go STEM and Crafty Kids kits, up to Anime Club and Video Game Night. The calendar feed doesn't post age ranges, so check a program's page before you plan around it.

Logistics
Admission
Free admission
Free, like all Delaware public libraries. Some programs may need sign-up.
Membership tip: A free Delaware library card also lets you reserve free passes to Delaware State Parks and the Brandywine Zoo through the libraries' Museum Pass program (one pass per card at a time).
Getting There
Parking
The library has parking on its property behind the building for library users, 8:00am–8:30pm.
Downtown Rehoboth parking is hard, so the patron lot is the play. In summer the library issues a daily parking pass good in all library spaces when everyone in the car is inside for more than 30 minutes.

Food & Snacks
No food on-site. No food service — it's a library.
Snack strategy: Eat before or after; you're in the middle of downtown Rehoboth, so options are a short walk.
Pro Tips
- ✓ Sundays are summer-only (June 7–August 30, 10AM–3PM) — closed Sundays the rest of the year.
- ✓ Use the library's own lot behind the building; in summer ask about the daily parking pass, which needs everyone in the car to be inside for more than 30 minutes.
- ✓ Several programs are seasonal — Little Yogis and Video Game Night, for instance, start in December — so check the calendar, don't assume.
