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.

I asked the librarian for help and we weren't able to find the exact document I wanted in the reference section. So I'm sitting in the back, looking at some other files.

We walked in and the nicest, most friendly young lady with a quick sense of humor helped us obtain our first library card in FL - finally! Now I won't need to purchase as many books for book club or leisure reading. But, she really made it a fun exchange. I quickly located two books on my list, looked up a third that I couldn't find (not available at this library) and we used the self-check out kiosk, which was very easy and quick. We visited around 2:30 PM on a Mondayin July and it was not very busy at all. I will most definitely be back to return today's books and borrow some more!

I was excited for the new library to reopen, but they made the story time room so small that only a few kids can attend, and registration fills up instantly. Now we cannot attend story time and my daughter is very disappointed. This was poor planning on their part to make the room so small very few can attend.

Nice community park with an amazing rec center offering much needed family recreation (SWFL has…read morelimited options accessible to most) and beautiful outdoor facilities. The only thing I do wish, is that all pet owners understood the importance of keeping pups on leash where kiddos play. Especially since there is also a nearby dog park and it's not really fair to other dogs who are leashed and may not know the general attitude of the puppies running freely around the park. This, is not a reflection of Estero community park, however. The human condition after-all, hasn't anything to do with the park itself; more so its one-off visitors whom don't seem to consider their neighbors; I suppose.

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.

First thing you need to know is that to gain entry, you'll be going through a security screening very similar to that of TSA's security procedures at airports. The Deputies manning these stations were professional and thorough. It didn't take long. Reminder, no drinks can be brought through the checkpoint. After a successful screening, I found the Jurors waiting room and found a seat in a large room that could probably accommodate 300 people. I'd say the room was probably 60% filled and over the next 2 hours, at different times, a bailiff or deputy would take a large group upstairs to where 1 of 3 Judges would be starting court proceedings by first selecting Jurors. Before this however, we received important information from workers in the waiting room such as parking, reimbursement, cell phone policy, and cafeteria location. Everyone was professional and helpful. (BTW, there's a special designated parking lot, free for Jurors. You only need to show your summons to the gate attendant in order to park there. It's about a block and a half away.) I was in the third group called. We went up to the 7th floor where a circuit court Judge was planning on trying a felony case. The Judge was very well spoken, had a genuine enthusiasm for his work, and explained in as simplest of terms as possible what the jurors selection would entail. Two attorneys for the state, as well as two attorneys for the defendant, were given chances to question all 41 of us in what is known as "voir dire", in order to finalize the selection of Jurors. Just before 5pm they selected 7 Jurors out of our group. I was not one of them. Just before releasing us, the Judge thanked us and stated that we had fulfilled our Jurors Summons obligations for 1 year. My overall experience was very positive. Every one was very helpful, positive, and professional. The building and rooms are very clean and modern. One should bring a jacket or sweater as the rooms are quite cool. Hours are: Monday-Friday: 7:30am - 5:00pm

If you lose your summons they can still check you in if you have ID with you . Of course only a judge can excuse people from jury duty but people still asked. Think I'm going to be here all day....
