The Miami-Dade Public Library System is celebrating National Library Week and you're invited to join in on the fun.
National Library Week is a time to celebrate the important role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. This year’s theme, Drawn to the Library , highlights how libraries bring people together through creativity, curiosity and connection.
Whether you're visiting your local library, exploring our extensive collection of digital resources and databases or attending a library program, there's something for everyone to discover. Borrow books, eBooks, audiobooks, video games and DVDs, get hands-on experience with emerging digital media technologies, create films and podcasts, learn a new language (or two), access free tutoring, get moving with fitness classes and so much more.
