We construct Locally Recoverable Codes (LRCs) with availability $2$ from a family of fibered surfaces. To obtain the locality and availability properties, and to estimate the minimum distance of the codes, we combine techniques coming from the theory of one-variable function fields and from the theory of fibrations on surfaces. When the locality parameter is $r=3$, we obtain a sharp bound on the minimum distance of the codes. In that case, we give a geometric interpretation of our codes in terms of doubly elliptic surfaces. In particular, this provides the first instance of an error correcting code constructed using a (doubly elliptic) K3 surface.
