Sanibel library offers tax forms, virtual program
The Sanibel Public Library has 2020 IRS Form 1040/1040 SR and its instruction booklet, and N1451 — a correction to a line entry in the booklet. The forms are available in limited supply. Other tax forms can be printed from the IRS Website at irs.gov. Those who need help printing forms can ask staff for assistance. A library card is not required to use the printers.
Locals and visitors can attend World War II history programs with staffer Duane E. Shaffer via Zoom. On April 9 at 10 a.m., he will present “Battle of Gettysburg: Day One.” Learn about General Robert E. Lee’s invasion of Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863. Visit www.sanlib.org and click on the link to login a few minutes beforehand to watch. More details and login instructions are online. In addition, replays of Shaffer’s programs can be watched.
During the months of March and April, stop by the library to see landscape and seascape acrylic paintings by Sanibel-Captiva Art League member Jim Storer on display.

Among its safety precautions, the library is quarantining materials for 24-72 hours between loans to stop the spread of COVID-19. The items sit for 24-72 hours depending on their format, such as print, acrylic or plastic. During this time, the materials may appear as overdue on an account. Do not renew an item if it has been returned it. For any questions, contact 239-472-2483 or notices@sanlib.org.
