The men and women of the Florida Bibliophile Society are book lovers from all walks
of life who have been meeting and talking about books since 1983.
We meet at 1:30
p.m. on the third Sunday of each month from September to May. During the summer, we go on "sabbatical" and
check out our favorite book haunts far and wide for that special find.
Meetings
alternate monthly between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, usually at the Seminole Community Library in Seminole or the
MacDonald-Kelce Library on the University of Tampa campus. Meeting locations and directions are published in the quarterly
FBS newsletter.
We have guest speakers, book auctions, holiday parties,
annual banquets, and more. In short, we have fun.
Annual dues are $30
for each household, so a family living at the same address all can be members for one membership fee; and, FBS members
who do not reside in the Tampa Bay area pay annual dues of $25 per household.
For your dues, you not only form a kinship with fellow book lovers, but receive The Newsletter four times a year. Membership in the Florida Bibliophile Society also automatically makes you a member of The Fellowship of American Bibliophilic
Societies, and entitles you to this international organization's semi-annual publication, The
FABS Newsletter, which is worth the price of membership alone.
Prospective
members are invited to attend one of our meetings to check us out and enjoy the company of other bibliophiles.
