The Sanibel Public Library provides a variety of programming for adults and children.
With support from the Sanibel Public Library Foundation, the library has launched a series of virtual author talks to include bestselling authors and thought leaders. The next one will take place on Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. with award-winning journalist Joseph Lee, author of “Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity.” He will chat about his memoir, in which he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy — the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard.
Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer. He has a Master of Fine Arts from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University. His writing has been published in The Guardian, BuzzFeed, Vox, High Country News and more. Lee was a Margins Fellow at the Asian American Writers Workshop and a Senior Indigenous Affairs Fellow at Grist.
