Everything from the layout to the very friendly and informed staff is great. I love the work tables/workstations for setting up my computer and working on my graphic arts business. The ambiance, layout, lighting, and traffic makes for a great balance between being able to concentrate and yet have the feeling of being surrounded by a nice buzz of quiet activity. The hours are good, though I miss the good old days when libraries were open late on Friday evenings, and some even open on Sunday afternoons.

Gorgeous three story library on the beach. First floor I saw mostly movies/shows. Second floor has…read moreall of the books, with a big magazine room with a little aquarium and an entire large print section. Every shelf is labeled with what genre of books you can find there. There's lots of seating and even some separate rooms to read or do work in. There is a third floor with a coffee shop and book store that both weren't open when I visited. The library itself is beautiful! Murals, art, shells, and history of Fort Myers is all over the library. This is definitely the better library in SWFL, certainly worth taking a drive out for.

And the library in North Fort Myers has a section I love: "Read and Return." Unsure what this is, the librarian explained that they're books that one borrows without checking out. "Take as long as you'd like to read them," she said. "A good resource for snowbirds who may or may not bring the books back," she added. As a snowbird myself -- who returned books on my quick trip back to FL this week -- I'm a fan of this section. There are some good reads, and to keep the shelves stocked, I donate books that others might enjoy.

As one would expect, the library is quiet and there are multiple study carrels where you can set up a laptop and use their free wifi and power for a while. The wifi does not have any registration. The facility is roomy and airy with neatly organized shelves of books, magazines and other media. Masks are encouraged but not required. They also have a contactless pickup where you can reserve books online and the library will bring them out to you in your car. Note that you do not need to be a North Fort Myers resident to use the library. It is open to all, though only local residents can borrow materials.

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.
