Sanibel library to temporary closure starting Friday
The Sanibel Public Library will be closed from Sept. 21-25 as the facility continues its renovation project, “Your Library Reimagined.”
Crews will be delivering and installing book shelves and other large furniture. The temporary closure will allow the work to be expedited while maintaining safety to the public.
Library staff will be working and answering the phone at 239-472-2483.
There will not be overdue fines assessed for materials returned late during the time. The book drop is located outside of the building to allow patrons to return DVDs, magazines, books, and other materials.
Except for Oct. 4-15, the library will host the following weekly programs for children:
– Family Story Time: Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and Thursdays at 11 a.m. For young readers and their caregivers, the program helps develop pre-reading skills through songs and stories.
– After-School Crew: Thursdays at 3 p.m. Children in kindergarten through third grade will enjoy favorite books, never-knew-existed books, games and crafts, with a snack provided.
– Reading to Bessie: Rain-free Thursdays from 3:45 to 5 p.m. Have fun reading to Bessie, a bearded collie and Reading Education Assistance Dog. Participants can sign up on the spot.
– After-School Clique: Tuesdays at 3 p.m. Geared for children in fourth through sixth grade, the group will craft, build, make and play, with books and a provided snack thrown in.
The weekly programs can be found on the library’s calendar online.
No registration is required to take part in the programs.
The Sanibel Public Library is open Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Sundays.
