Restaurant Dining Returns to FMB
Four Owners Discuss Changes
On March 20, 2020, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis closed all restaurants for on-premises dining, limiting them to carryout and delivery service. Over six weeks later, on May 4, he allowed Florida restaurants to reopen for outdoor dining and 25% of indoor capacity, then expanded that to 50% capacity on May 18, with Lee County taking the additional step to allow establishments with outdoor dining options to temporarily expand those. The Governor’s ongoing restrictions on outdoor dining include required social distancing. Seating at bar counters in restaurants remains prohibited and bars, as defined by more than 50% of revenue from alcohol sales, remain closed by DeSantis’ Executive Orders. As Fort Myers Beach restaurants gradually continue the slow climb up from a near total shutdown, the Island Sand Paper spoke with four owners of local restaurants to hear about their experiences.

Fort Myers Beach Library to Open June 1
Three Board Seats Up For Election
Those readers who have reluctantly switched to an e-reader over the past few months due to reduced access to hardcopy books will be thrilled to learn that the Fort Myers Beach Library will reopen on Monday, June 1! Library patrons have been able to reserve books and drive by to pick them up for a few weeks, but shelf surfers will now be able to browse to their heart’s content. The library will open at 50% capacity, with four computers available for public use. Computer time will be limited to 30 minutes and computers will be cleaned between users. The Living Room/periodical room, children’s play room and café will remain closed and there will be no puzzle table. The decision on whether to open Beachcomber Books, the Friends of the Library used book store, is pending.
