Sanibel Public Library, Sanibel Island

When we visit Sanibel each year, we generally haul down a few pounds of bedtime picture books and leisure beach reads in our luggage. This year, instead of lugging the books with us, we paid $10 for a visitor library card. Im so thankful we went this route. The Sanibel Public Library is fantastic. Even better than our libraries at home, which is saying something because we live in a decently sized city. Sanibel Public Library has a very generous selection of new books — shelves worth. Well stocked and organized children’s section with plenty of old favorites and newer interesting picture and chapter books. They even have a few things to keep children occupied while parents look for books. If you need to get some work done, they have laptops (PC and Mac operating systems) available to use in the library for a couple hours. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They chatted with my children about the books they selected. We will certainly make another trip or two to the library while we are here this year, and every future year that we visit.

This library is the best for my 4 year old. I have only really checked out the child section but it looks amazing overall. This is such a nice indoor kid's play & learning area. There are books, trains, puzzles, games, legos, a wooden doll house, dry erase, little people etc. The list goes on & on. There is a designated area for the children and it is pretty large. It seems they do structured classes for the kids also. It is my favorite library and my favorite indoor kid's area locally. I LOVE Sanibel Island! Thank you for providing this for free!

Bright interior, friendly helpful staff, wonderful books, magazines, music, movies, children's section, free computer to use a WiFi, interesting displays, author lectures.

Bigger than you'd think! They don't always have the newest collections, but they have a very large collection for such a small island!
