Sean Donnelly: Tales of a Bookseller
Macdonald-Kelce Library, 401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, FL ,October 20, 2024, 1:30 p.m.
(also available on Zoom)
Sean has been engaged in bookselling in the Tampa-St. Pete area for over 20 years, including 12 years as a partner in DoraLynn Books at Madeira Beach.
Sean’s love affair with books began when he was a teenager. It was at that age that he knew he wanted to be a bookseller. In his later teen years, he befriended book scout Harry Nash and the mentoring process began as they worked the book trails of Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties. Sean came to know all the best places to find books as well as a very colorful cast of bookstore owners. Sean will share his memories of the books, the places, and the people and might spark a few memories of your own..
Hope to see you there!
