OUR MISSION
The mission of Friends of
the Selby Public Library
is to support and coordinate with the library – and
the community – in the
development of services by
raising funds, providing
a volunteer base to assist
library staff and advocating the use and growth of
library resources.
Message From Our President
Dear Friends,
Hultquist created and mailed
a very clever invitation where
the cover child coincidentally
is named “Selby” and the material contains a colored picture
postcard of the library - our free
“gift” to the recipients. Did we
miss someone you know who
might be interested? Let us
know and we’ll send them a
packet.
We hope to see you at our
annual Book & Author luncheon on March 21 at Michael’s
On East. Please call or come by
The Friends office to make a reservation or return your acceptance of our mailed invitation,

The Selby Library Aquarium
From The Desk Of
Our Head Librarian
Greetings One
and All!
I hope you’re having a
fabulous “season”.
The staff at Mote Marine Laboratory is
responsible for the maintenance of the
custom built tank in Selby Library.
Aquarium Facts
Volume: 3,200 Gallons of salt water.
Weight: 10,000 pounds (empty)
Dimensions: Arch-shaped structure,
four feet wide, 12 feet tall, 16 feet long.
Material: Four-inch thick acrylic walls.
Maintenance: Closets on either side of
the tank provide access to a stationary
platform, suspended above the aquarium. Three removable panels allow the
fish to be fed and the tank cleaned.
Mote Marine Aquarists perform the
maintenance five days per week.
Feeding: The fish are fed a variety of
shrimp, squid, silversides, vegetables,
seaweed and vitamins.
Fish: Mote Marine aquarists selected
over 20 types of tropical fish for their
beauty, unique appearance, and nature; descriptions may be found in a
notebook located at the youth desk.
Aquarium History
The Dee and Charles Stottlemyer Children’s Aquarium was installed at the
entrance to the Youth Library on July
8, 1999. The aquarium was designed
by architects Gary Hoyt and Jeff Hole,
with technical assistance from Kevin
Curlee, Mote Aquarium Curator. Approval for the project was granted by
the Sarasota County Commission,
dependent upon private funding. This
funding was subsequently provided by
Dee and Charles Stottlemyer, as a gift
to the children of Sarasota County.

Prior to accepting this position

The Friends’ Annual Meeting is just
around the corner,
so I’d like to take a
Liz Nolan
moment to thank you
again for your ongoing support of the Selby
Library and tell you about some of the things
that you have so graciously supported.
The support that you provide to our children’s library is really tremendous. The positive impact that our children’s programs have
had within the community is evidence of
your dynamic leadership. From “Lap Sit” for
the littlest ones, to Pre-School Storytime, teen
programs, multi-cultural family programs,
and the inimitable Pig Summer program of
2005, you have made good on your commitment to our community’s children.
As always, The Friends provided generous
support for a number of new and longstanding adult services programs. We have
enjoyed enthusiastic crowds for Masters
and Masterpieces of Music, a weekly music
lecture forum by Dr. John Goodman, funded
in tandem with the Sarasota Music Archive;
a golf program with Jim Linkins; a day long
jazz program with Kenny Soderblom that
included sessions for adults and children;
Cine Selby, which is screened on the last
Tuesday of each month and features a classic
American or International film from Selby’s
extensive collection; author visits with
crowd favorites such as Tim Dorsey and Leslie Glass, etc. – that’s just a sampling.
Our fabulous urban neighborhood is blossoming, so we will continue to give special
attention to our collections and at the same
focus on offering sophisticated programs
which will bring folks in the door to enjoy
all of the resources and services offered by
the library and The Friends.
On behalf of the staff and patrons of the
Selby Public Library, please accept our
many thanks!

Our Appreciation for Special Gifts to The Friends
We received another $500 installment from Exxon Mobil
Foundation on behalf of Jane B. Baisley’s volunteer
efforts. Our sincere appreciation, Jane.
• Buy more books, computers and library materials
• Add new and innovative services to reach out to the
people with special needs
Two computers were recently donated to our Bookstore
by donors who wish to remain anonymous. Our sincere
thanks for their generous gifts that help us research
unusual books.
What You Will Get in Return
The Friends donated one thousand dollars to “Born to
Read” programs for Sarasota County Libraries early literacy programs.
We Need Your Support More Than Ever!
Although tax dollars assist the library system, we need
the help from other sources in order to continue our
work of helping people to read, learn and improve the
quality of their lives.
Libraries Change Lives in Many Positive Ways:
• Help adults learn to read.
• Introduce children to the joys of reading and lifelong
learning.
• Help students of all ages pursue their education
• Provide vital information for people looking for a job,
raising a family, investing for retirement or coping
with a serious illness.
Your Donation Will Allow Us To:
• Keep pace with changing technology
• Close the gap between computer “haves” and “have nots”
• Ensure a lasting legacy for yourself or a loved one
• The satisfaction of knowing you help promote literacy
BOOKS - A Lasting Tribute
Books honor the memory of loved ones and serve as
living tributes that continue their influence in the community. This is your opportunity to enrich the lives of
others while honoring a special person. Select a subject
area that best expresses the interests of the person you
wish to honor. The Sarasota County Librarians will be
glad to assist you.
Your gift items will include a commemorative bookplate
with the name of person honored and the individual or
family will be notified of your thoughtful gesture with a
letter from the library. In addition to books, other items
are available for tributes such as videos, cassettes, compact discs and magazine subscriptions.
This is a wonderful way to honor your club chairperson, to celebrate a birthday, or to congratulate a dear
friend on a special accomplishment. The average cost of
library materials is $25. This is suggested as a minimum
donation.
This donation is tax deductible.
Everyone Needs A Friend...
Won’t you be ours? Friends of the Selby Public Library invites you to join us. Contributions to The
Friends organization support the Selby Public Library by supplementing county and state resources.
Thanks to the infusion of Friends’ dollars, the Library is able to purchase additional books, provide exciting youth and adult programs and host volunteer appreciation events. The Friends Bookstore offers an
ever-changing variety of books which are donated for resale at reasonable prices. Members enjoy a 10%
discount on all Bookstore purchases.
The Friends is co-producer of the highly acclaimed Sarasota Reading Festival each fall. The Friends sponsors
the Book & Coffee series, a Book & Author Luncheon and other compelling events throughout the year.
The organization publishes this informative newsletter that members receive and a website is available for
access at www.selbylibraryfriends.org.
A free public library is the backbone of our community.
Your tax deductible membership is greatly appreciated.

Our Library Volunteers
Meet super Bookstore volunteer, Jim Kitchell...
...who unpacks and shelves our wonderful donations of books in the
“back room.” Thanks, Jim. Our appreciation, too, to volunteers Marla
Kip, Ellen O’Brien, Sally St. Clair and Noel Steinberg who also help sort
and shelve recent donations.
Meet Blanche Brown - volunteer coordinator
Blanche Brown joined our library community this year - you will
find her near the library’s circulation desk where she meets and greets
prospective volunteers Mondays through Thursday between 10:00
and 3:00. She moved here from New York and for the past five years
has called Sarasota her home. Blanche would be pleased to hear from
more Friends.
Blanche often interviews twenty prospective volunteers a week and
arranges monthly orientation meetings to meet library staff, learn about
procedures and the many volunteer opportunities available. She also
interviews prospective volunteers for our Bookstore. We are delighted
to be able to sponsor this position. Welcome to the library, Blanche.
Call Blanche at 861-1113 for an appointment and discover ways you
can help.
Meet Phyllis Stevens – five year library volunteer
Phyllis Stevens loves books – her five years as volunteer with the circulation department, attest to that. In addition to her weekly library service
at Selby Public Library, Phyllis is a board member of Sarasota Senior
Theater, Janet Guild of the Asolo Theater, where she also assists with
students attending performances. Her many activities include church
activities, too. The library is indeed fortunate to have a dedicated volunteer like Phyllis.
How To Donate Books
We want your used books!
Are gently read books piling up in your home or office? Instead of tossing them
away, please consider giving them to The Friends for resale in our bookstore. All
proceeds benefit Selby Public Library and its programs. If you can’t bring them in
yourself, The Friends can arrange to have a courier service pick up your cartons of
books. For more information, please call The Friends at 365-5228.
