The library is definitely worth a visit if you are vacationing on Sanibel. Not only is it a…read morestunning building with tons of space to sit and relax with interesting things to look at and beautiful views, but you can get tons of entertainment for your vacation! It costs $10 for a non-resident to check out items, which lasts for the year. You cannot only get books and movies, but you can get kits to cook different items with cookbooks and pans, tons of games to play with your family when the sun has gone down at night, and even passes to local attractions, like the Bailey Matthews Shell Museum, and the Edison Winter Estate! Definitely a value beyond the $10. You might think this is a small town so the library will not have a lot of titles, but I was really pleasantly surprised at how many copies they had in stock of recent best sellers, popular movies, etc. We also took our baby to the baby and toddler story time on Tuesday morning, which was a great event that we all really enjoyed! The staff putting it on were welcoming and everyone had a lot of fun.

This library is the best. Especially the kids section. Most of the employees have worked there for…read moreyears, so regardless of whether they live on-island or not, they are dedicated to the library and the people that use it. The programs are engaging and the on-site offerings are unmatched in the Sanibel / East Fort Myers area. Their after hours "meet the author" series is a unique and delightful addition to a rich literary culture. The Sanibel Library just keeps getting better!

This is probably one of the nicest libraries ever. A must see - this is a great building located…read morejust near the heart of town. The front has some amazing wooden doors - step inside to a landscaped court yard, and an open air covered reading room with free wireless. If you need to work away from home, this is the place to do so. Look carfeully, the building and courtyard are so well done, you might mistake this library for one of the near by homes. The library sits on a street that looks out to the ocean. Another cool thing to check out is the DuPont shell collection which is quite extensive and is on display in the court yard. We stopped by during the annual book sale and picked up some great books for less than a $1 each - some of the books looked like they had never been opened. 5 Stars for being a cool building, a free activity, a great place to read and having free wifi.

Any visit I make to Boca Grande includes a stop here. Librarians there are keen to display works by…read morelocal authors or material on famous visitors. I enjoyed the historical perspectives provided on The Bush Administration. (The former First family has vacationed in this beautiful retreat.). This visit, I paged through a book of rural Florida photos by Carlton Ward. The small library is more curated than libraries of larger size, but it's a real asset to this refined beach town.
