The Sanibel-Captiva Rotary welcomed our speaker, Amber Cox from the Sanibel Public Library. She shared the many wonderful opportunities that the library provides for the residents of Sanibel. The library offers free meeting rooms, summer reading programs, 3D printers, VR headsets, cooking kits, birdwatching kits, consistent and reliable internet, copiers, faxing, and scanning, just to name a few! Be sure to check them out, it’s one of Sanibel’s hidden gems!

Amber has served as executive director of the Sanibel Public Library since October 2024. Prior to relocating to Southwest Florida, Cox was employed the Pikes Peak Library District in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and held the positions of makerspace librarian, creative services senior librarian, Old Colorado City library manager, and assistant director of programming. She has worked in the public library field for 14 years and has a particular passion for literacy, creativity, and serving others. Cox holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Southeast Missouri University and a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
