Many of you have inquired about the historic photos hanging in our library…asking if copies could be purchased. As a result, we surveyed the patrons to determine those numbered historic photos which were of greatest interest. There was an enthusiastic response to our survey. Based on our library patrons’ requests we now have the top ten photos in an unframed 8 x 10 size for sale at the Information Desk for $15.00. Stop by to purchase your favorites.
The top ten photos are:
Hotel Ormond (#6)
Bowden Kilometer Trophy Race (#7)
Autos in Front of Brettton Inn (#8)
Hotel Ormond 1888 (#14)
Fisherman Displaying His Catch (#17)
Traffic on Ocean Beach (#20)
First Cottage Built on Ormond Beach (#23)
Auto Parade at Hotel Ormond (#24)
Granada Boulevard from hotel looking east toward Ocean (#25)
Hotel Ormond Veranda with Guests and Pet Deer (#26)
In addition, all twenty seven of the photos included in the survey will be available in a

FOL Programs - May through August
The Friends Annual Meeting will be held Wednesday, May 2, at 2:00 PM, and we hope you will all attend. It’s your opportunity to find out what we’ve been up to for the past year and to vote for officers for the coming year. We have an engaging speaker as well, re-scheduling Dianne Jacoby for this event.
Dianne is a wonderful storyteller of “Florida: The First Five Hundred Years.” The story is told through the eyes of three women, each wearing the elaborate clothing of her time period.
o First is Dona Maria, illegitimate daughter of Florida's Spanish founder Pedro Menendez, who tells of the 1513 discovery of La Florida, the bloody battles fought for Spanish dominance of Florida, and the challenges of life in the isolated colony of Saint Augustine.
o The 1700's saw vicious attacks by pirates and occupation by the British, recounted by flamboyant Sarah Fish, wife of an infamous black-marketeer and real estate scoundrel.
o Finally, Mary Lily Flagler, wife of Henry Morrison Flagler, talks about Florida during the wars between Florida cow hunters and the Seminole nation, Florida's quest for statehood, the dire poverty of post-Civil War years, and finally, the challenge of Florida's last role as the tropical jewel, which continues to draw visitors and settlers.
Please join us for our last program of the season. They will resume in September.

Book Sale Room Update
Have you been wondering when the Ormond Beach Friends Earth Day and Holiday Book Sales will be this year? While the Book Sale Room will continue to offer great savings, we are not planning any special book sales this year. The reason….we are not receiving as many donations as in the past. As a result, donations are placed directly in the book sale room for our patrons. Those who frequent our book sale room take advantage of the beautiful books that have been donated as they are contributed.
We thank you for your support both in your donations and in your purchasing of items.

Special Thanks to Dee De Carlo
The Friends Board has selected Dee De Carlo Volunteer of the Month. Thank you, Dee, for your many contributions to the Ormond Beach Library.
Dee has been a volunteer at the library for three years working in the Book Sale Room, assisting in the annual book sale events and serving on the FOL Board as Assistant Treasurer. She has been an active member of the Author’s Festival Steering Committee and assisted in FOL publicity. Her art work has been displayed twice in the entry cases of the Ormond Library.
Dee reflects that some of her favorite times are in the library where she “loves interfacing with the volunteer team that works in the book sale room and the library staff.” She says, “the best part of this job is buying books for my friends and seeing the smiles on their faces when I hand the books to them.”
To our regret, Dee will be moving away from the area. We will miss you, Dee.

The President's Corner
Once again the Friends of the Ormond Beach Library have had a successful year!
Our wonderful computer lab is continuing to offer many needed computer classes as well as information regarding Nook, Kindle, iPad, etc. In fact the Nook, Kindle, and iPad classes have been moved to the auditorium due to the large number of people seeking knowledge in the use of these tools. Kudos to Mary Gaspary and Stefan Lyhne-Neilsen for their leading of these sessions!
The Children’s area continues to offer superb classes utilizing supplies purchased by the FOL. A large number of summer programs will be offered of which many are funded by FOL as well. Thanks Susan Perry for leading this work.
FOL assists in funding The Teen Room’s many activities for teens in all learning areas and interest. Thanks Richelle Rininger for your leadership.
We have received many donations for large print books which has increased our library’s collection. The large print section remains one of the busiest areas of the library.
The book sale room business is booming! We appreciate all donations as this source is our largest continuous fundraiser.
The FOL Board has worked diligently this year to ensure the success of the Ormond Beach Library. Thank you, Friends, for your membership and donations. Please remember that all donations and dues monies go directly to the Ormond Beach Library.
