The Florida Bibliophile Society

The Florida Bibliophile Society members are finishing up their summer break and looking forward to the new meeting and event season starting in September. We alternate our meetings between the two most populated counties of the Tampa Bay area, Pinellas and Hillsborough. Experts on various aspects of books and book collecting will be giving presentations. Our first meeting will be at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, September 21, at the Seminole Community Library, 9200 113th St. North, Seminole. The October 19 meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the MacDonald-Kelce Library, University of Tampa, 401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa. And on November 16 our meeting moves back to the Seminole Community Library for our annual Members’ Book Sale and Show and Tell. December is reserved for the Society’s annual Holiday Potluck, where the members get to sample some wonderful dishes and discuss their latest “finds.” These events are a great start for our coming event year. The Society began its summer break with a May banquet at the Bonefish Grill in St. Petersburg with about 20 members in attendance. The Florida Bibliophile Society meets every third Sunday of the month, from September through May, so if you find yourself in the Tampa Bay region when a meeting is scheduled please join us.
