The state library rankings are out, and the Sanibel Public Library ranks at or near the top in many areas, including materials borrowed, program attendance and percentage of population with a library card.
The 2020 ratings are based on FY 2018 Florida Library Statistics, which measures 82 libraries/library systems in the state. Sanibel was ranked number one per capita (per 1,000) for: circulation (number of books or items borrowed); availability of print, audio, video and other material to check out; local and state operating revenue; and square footage availability.
