Selby public library
1331 1st St.
Sarasota, FL 34236
This library in Sarasota began in 1907 by the Ladies’ Town Improvement Society. It had moved several times, and the current building opened in 1998.
I always go to visit before my opera event, which is across the street.
In 2025, I found this sign by the door amusing, especially after visiting LA’s Central library in November 2024: the homelessness.
The library is beautiful. The small arch is actually an aquarium.
A grey hair gentleman is playing Sergei Rachmaninoff: “I’m performing tomorrow …”
