Bit weird, right, to go to a library when on holiday but this place has all the latest books, plenty of DVDs, magazines and CDs so now I just pay my $10 annual membership everytime we go to Sanibel and save a stash of cash on airport book purchases! The staff are sooo nice and helpful, the place is lovely... More

I thought it was kind of funny that the Sanibel Library was the number one attraction of Trip Advisor when Sanibel has so many beautiful beaches, bike riding, kayaking, and so on.

Browse the wonderful display of shells on the main floor and skip paying admission/donation fees at the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum. Have your kids (or you) sit in the SL Readmore rowboat for a wonderful photo opp and then browse through their sale room... More
