"Books That Every Floridian Should Have on the Shelf"

The Lightner Museum will be hosting a talk titled "Books That Every Floridian Should Have on the Shelf" led by Tampa Bay Times reporter Jeff Klinkenberg on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at 5:30 p.m.

Book lovers unite as Jeff Klinkenberg gives his take on what every bookcase must have. While many authors have called Florida home, some truly define our state's literary heritage. Jeff Klinkenberg will discuss some of his favorite "Florida books", working his way up from William Bartram in 1791 to Jack E. Davis in 2017 with a few favorite authors - Zora Neale Hurston and Patrick Smith - in between. Whether you're a 5th generation Floridian or a transplant from Michigan, there's something for everyone.

This event will be held in the Historic Alcazar Pool, which is handicap accessible. Guests may enter through the Cafe Alcazar Granada Street entrance, located in the back of the Lightner Museum. Doors open at 5:00 pm, with the lecture beginning at 5:30 pm. Reception and light refreshments to follow.

Registration is required and can be made online.

This program is sponsored by the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the Florida Department State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture. Also supported by The Historic Inns of St. Augustine and St. Johns County Tourist Development Council.
