Have you ever been out to Egmont Key and wondered about its history? This is your chance to find out everything about this historically-important island in Tampa Bay. Join the Friends of the Central Library in welcoming author Donald Thompson who is going to tell us all about the history of this key. Donald and Carol Thompson have written and published a brand new book titled, “Egmont Key: A History.” 

The event is free and seating will be available on a first come, first serve basis. There is no advance registration required.
