This is a great library. My closest library was at Mid-County Library at Forrest Nelson in Port…read moreCharlotte, Fl.. But that library got demolished in hurricane Ian in 2022. So sad. I hear rumors they may rebuild. Hope so. Anyhow, this library on Aaron St. is great and they have been busy trying to fill in for the the closed library. And I confess I love the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. I donate and buy many books from the used book stores by the libraries. I just read (from their used book store) the play A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. I confess I never read it before and it was a fun fast read. Then I found the play on television and watched it. Loved them both.

I agree with the people from Lee. I spent two years down there and used the south library off…read moreGladiolus (I believe it was on Bass.) and the north Fort Myers just over the Edison bridge. Unlike what is left of the Charlotte libraries, I never left a Lee county library empty handed. Unfortunately, I believe the reason for that is the difference in the size of the population. I'm sure Lee gets a much larger amount of funding. So much so that they have enough books to actually seperate them by type, making it easier to find what you're looking for. There is no excuse I can think of to not have a complete set of a series though. Has happened to me enough times that I no longer take out any part of a series. I tend to just be glad we have a library at all considering the state of things today. Overall I believe these people are doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

We recently moved to Charlotte County from Lee and we're disappointed in the limited selection of…read moreBOOKS at the Punta Gorda Library. Just about anything I'm interested in reading is only available electronically. The Biographies and History sections are minimal. Fiction is no better - as an example, they'll have one book from a series of seven, maybe 3 books from a series of 15 and a 32-book series has only 10 books - and they're not in series order. Makes it frustrating.

Great facility but the lady at the front desk is inpearsonalble, and rude. Went in looking for a…read morespecific book and she had nothing nice to say. Also saw her speaking over some kids if i were a parent i wouldnt allow someone in authority having that tone. Will be going to the other local library from now on

A nice little library that needs to be 2 or 3 times bigger (listen up county commissioners). I like…read moretheir website to search books and see if I'm overdue to re-up. They don't have a deep book collection but it's decent. Really....needs to be expanded.

We love this bookstore. It is so friendly and inviting and I love reading everyone's opinions on…read morethe books they have read. They have a great selection and I love the used book section outside where I get a lot of my vacation reads. They are so inexpensive that I can leave them behind in the resort library for others to enjoy. Support local. I know I do! Christmas is coming and everyone on my list gets a book cause we like to hold one and treasure every page!

You know what's down in Punta Gorda, FL? The next episode of #BestiesBeveragesBookstores!! This…read moreweek I was lucky enough to discover @copperfishbooks, and let me tell you it was absolutely incredible! This was hands-down, the most I have spent in a bookstore this year! But it's hard to say no when you keep finding so many fun things! I absolutely love how they integrated little fun supplies in almost all areas of the bookstore. I found stationary by classics and romance. There were thank yous & note cards over by nonfiction and mystery. And that's just for starters! The selection here was absolutely incredible. As for beverages, there's a cute little coffee shop that also has gelato within walking distance. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to stop there, but since I have every intention of going back to visit this book store again, I will make a point to visit that little shop as well!!
