Love this library! Great selection of movies. Easy drive through return, have a bike rack close to the door and a covered driveway at the entrance for those rainy days. The staff is very friendly. I use their computers and printers on a regular, .10 cents a copy, uses coins. And I always find books that I like to read. Another great tool that Lee county offers is online services to hold books, get audio books and movies. Why pay when you can have free!

Great automation. Self return. On line reservation and ready for pickup and self checkout. Inter library exchange greatly expands availability. Easy to extend due date, subject to wait list. Convenient, ample parking.

How to renew library card

Jill Goodman | Sep 2, 2021
Lakes Regional Library | Sep 2, 2021

Lee County Library System Library cards are renewed in person every two years at any of our branches. Library cards are not renewable by phone or online. If your ID has a Lee County address on it, that is all we need to renew your card. If you have an ID without a Lee County address on it, then we will ask for some other documentation that you live, work, go to school, or own property or a business in Lee County + your ID that shows you are the person names on such documentation. We hope to see you soon.
