Upcoming programs at Sanibel Public Library
As Sanibel Public Library continues the next phase of “Your Library Reimagined” remodel project, parts of the Library are being renovated as the facility is open for normal operating hours.
Duane Shaffer’s popular WWII lecture series kicks off with “1940 Raid on Taranto,” which begins at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 4 at the Library. He will repeat his program at 2 p.m. that afternoon. Shaffer will review the battle that took place between the British Royal Air Force and Italian Naval forces in the Mediterranean Sea off Taranto, Italy.
Weekly children’s schedule runs through Jan. 23:
– Geared specifically for children in fourth through sixth grade, the “After-school Clique” will meet on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. The group will be crafting, building, and playing-with books and a snack.
– Storytime for preschoolers and their caregivers will be held on Wednesdays at 11 a.m., and repeated at 11 a.m. on Thursdays. This program helps develop pre-reading skills through songs and stories.
– The “After-School Crew,” (for children in Kindergarten to third grades) will meet at 3 p.m. on Thursdays. Books, crafts, plus snack provided. If you love dogs and books, you might enjoy reading to Bessie, a bearded collie and trained Reading Education Assistance Dog.
