Please contact the library of your choice to check for availability.

Newspapers and Magazines 

• Each library maintains a collection of newspapers and magazines. Only the Fort Myers-Lee County Public Library keeps a complete archive of the Fort Myers News-Press on microfilm, as well as the New York Times. If you are not in Lee County and are looking for obituary information, please see our request guidelines.
• Magazines can be borrowed from the branches, but are reference material at the five regional libraries. 
• Some magazines and newspapers are archived in microform format. The Fort Myers-Lee County Public Library has the largest and longest run of microform periodicals. The three libraries (Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Bonita Springs) that carry microform materials have machines that will enlarge and print the pages.

Photocopiers 
Photocopiers are available at all locations ($.10/page). They cannot copy in color.
