We, the men and women of the Florida Bibliophile Society, are booklovers 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 "hibernate," or, as my friend Jon Meyers correctly points out, we "estivate."

We alternate the meeting location monthly, meeting at the Seminole Community Library during odd months, and at the MacDonald-Kelce Library on the University of Tampa campus during even months.

We have guest speakers, book auctions, annual banquets, and more. In short, we have fun.
