Miami-Dade Public Library System

Over 100 years ago, the Miami-Dade Public Library System was a small institution serving a tiny community. Today, through initiatives like its Five-Star Commitment to the community, the library engages its six million annual visitors in programs developed to meet their ever-changing needs. The Five-Star Commitment promises patrons that each library will have staff that will be ready and willing to lend a hand; provide opportunities for learning; assist visitors in their research efforts; empower patrons with knowledge; and offer an inviting environment in every library location. This promise is proudly displayed on posters in each of the library’s locations.
