Johann Fust Library Foundation
Welcome to the Johann Fust Library Foundation. Our mission is to maintain and preserve the buildings and gardens of the library while providing a literary and cultural center for the residents and visitors of Boca Grande.
If you have not visited our beautiful facility, you must definitely find the time to do so. This historic architectural masterpiece was built in 1950. Massive cypress doors and original exposed cypress beams are awe-inspiring reminders of the passion and attention to detail that the founders brought to their project seventy years ago. Visitors wander through the garden and courtyard as they explore the excellent library services offered by Lee County. The loggia offers a shady outdoor respite from the midday sun.
