DESCRIPTORS Information Technology; Library Collections; *Library Development; Library Personnel; *Library Services; Library Statistics; Library Surveys; *Public Libraries; State Programs IDENTIFIERS *Florida; *Library History ABSTRACT The Florida Library History Project (FLHP) began in January 1998. Letters requesting histories were sent to all public libraries in Florida with follow-up letters sent after an initial response was received from the libraries. E-mail messages were sent out to FL-LIB listservs encouraging participation in the project. A poster session was presented by Catherine Jasper at the 1998 Florida Library Association (FLA) Annual Conference, an event that marked FLA's 75th anniversary. At the end of this funding period, 89 library systems and organizations had provided histories. These have been compiled and are reproduced in this volume as submitted by participating libraries. Highlights include library founding, collections, services, budgets and expenditures, personnel, funding, survey results, technology, and developments.

WILL ITS ORIGINAL NAME BE RESTORED TO ‘DAVIS CAUSEWAY’? By HAMPTON DUNN What in the heck is the name of that span across Old Tampa Bay, linking Tampa and Clearwater? It was built by the late Capt. Ben T. Davis back in the depression years of the early 1930s and was christened "Davis Causeway." But shortly after his death in 1946, the Florida State Road Department, which had acquired ownership of the facility, used this project as a way to honor its Road Board member from the First District Courtney W. Campbell, later a U.S. Congressman, and now deceased.' A confused public calls it all combinations. The American Automobile Association (AAA) maps designate the development as "Courtney Campbell Causeway." A marker at the entrance to the bridge-road calls it "Courtney Campbell Parkway." Tampa's municipal beach at the east end is formally named "Ben T. Davis Memorial Beach." Grandson is Crusader With a strong movement on to clear up this confusion in the name, one letter writer to the newspaper has suggested that it be called "Davis-Campbell Causeway" to satisfy the heirs of both names that have been honored in the past.

Adams: Spans of Time: The Contributions of George S. Gandy, Ben T. Davis SPANS OF TIME: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF GEORGE S. GANDY, BEN T. DAVIS, AND COURTNEY CAMPBELL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAMPA BAY AREA by David W. Adams The growth of the communities of the Tampa Bay area into a single metropolitan area depended on bridges. As late as 1920, the waters of Tampa Bay formed a natural barrier separating the city of Tampa from St. Petersburg and Clearwater in Pinellas County. In the absence of any bridges spanning the bay, it took from several hours to travel by boat, automobile, or train from the cities on the Gulf of Mexico to Tampa. The completion of the Gandy Bridge in 1924 and the Davis Causeway (today’s Courtney Campbell Causeway) in 1934 directly linked the three cities into what would eventually become the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, which today has a population of over two million people.
