1115<h2 class="h3" style="margin-top: 0px;"><strong>A Message from Library Director Lydia Lopez</strong></h2>
1116<p>I am honored to serve the residents of Miami-Dade County as Library Director. I am a product of the Westchester Regional Library, where I first discovered the joy of learning and the sense of belonging that libraries uniquely provide. Today, I am thrilled to support residents in their pursuit of knowledge, growth, and happiness at our libraries.</p>
1117<p>As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary – the semiquincentennial – I’ve been exploring America 250–themed books. One that particularly resonated with me is <em>The Pursuit of Happiness</em> by Jeffrey Rosen, which explores the thinkers who shaped the ideals of our founding fathers. The book reminds us that happiness is not a destination, but a lifelong journey of learning, self-improvement, and community connection.</p>
1118<p>This is the work of libraries – and of our dedicated employees – every day. We provide a wealth of resources, information, and programs that help people learn, grow, and connect with one another and the world around them.</p>
1119<p>I welcome any comments, questions, or concerns that you may have and can be reached at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" title="E-mail the Library Director">

1151<h3>History</h3>
1152<p>Throughout the past century, Miamians have watched their public libraries grow from a reading room in Lemon City to 50 libraries spanning the county’s southernmost point in Naranja to its northern reaches in Northeast Dade. The library system has not only grown, but also dramatically evolved in the way services are provided — all in an effort to meet the informational, educational and recreational needs of the residents of Miami‑Dade County.</p>

1157<div class="thumbnail thumbnail-unstyled"><img src="https://mdpls.libnet.info/images/locations/mdpls/lemon-city-branch-old.jpg" alt="Original Lemon City Branch Exterior" width="450" height="250"></div>
1158<p>Public libraries in Miami have a long, rich history — a history that traces back to the late 19th century. The Library System as we know it today began with the Lemon City Reading Room in 1894, followed soon after by the Cocoanut Grove Reading Room (original spelling) in 1895. The earliest libraries in Miami were founded through the efforts of local women’s clubs, resulting in the construction of the Coconut Grove Library in 1901 and the purchase of a storefront in 1902 that became the Lemon City Library. The first bookmobile for traveling library service began in January of 1928, and Miami residents were so proud of the bookmobile that they put it in the Orange Bowl Parade (then known as the Palm Fete).</p>
1159<p>In 1942, these libraries were brought together to form the City of Miami Public Library System. In 1971, city and county libraries joined forces and formed the Miami‑Dade Public Library System. Almost immediately, the new library system experienced an unprecedented boost in its growth. This expansion was a result of the 1972 Decade of Progress Bond Program — a $553 million initiative that made many important local projects possible, including the construction of 13 new libraries. Through the Decade of Progress Bond Program, regional libraries were constructed in South Dade, West Dade and North Dade, as well as branches in Northeast Dade, Model City, Kendall, Miami Lakes, South Miami, Homestead, Coral Reef and Key Biscayne. In 1985, at the newly constructed Cultural Plaza in downtown Miami, a new Main  Library opened.</p>
1160<p>This period of growth was followed in 1990 with the opening of two additional libraries in the areas of North Central and West Kendall. In 1992, the world’s first library on an elevated transit system opened at the Metrorail’s Civic Center Station (now UHealth | Jackson Station). Over the next eight years, no further expansion of the system was funded, and no new libraries opened. It wasn’t until the fall of 2001, when the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners voted to increase the library system’s budget, which provided funding for capital improvement initiatives, making way for the opening of 18 new libraries by the year 2011.</p>

1165<p>When the Board of County Commissioners approved the library system’s Capital Plan in 2001, it was the first time in nearly a decade that the department had resources to open new libraries. The plan called for the immediate opening of a new wave of smaller libraries and the subsequent construction of 10 new libraries. These smaller libraries were fashioned after a homework center in the City of Doral and became the model for storefront libraries that were located in shopping centers throughout the County. In rapid succession, the library system successfully opened storefront libraries in Country Walk, Hialeah Gardens, Tamiami, Naranja, Lakes of the Meadow, Concord, California Club, Doral, Palm Springs North, Opa‑locka, and Sunset.</p>
1166<p>Since 2001, nine newly‑constructed libraries have opened. These include Arcola Lakes, Golden Glades, International Mall, Kendale Lakes, Naranja, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Virrick Park and a  stand-alone replacement Hialeah Gardens Branch. In addition, four branches have been relocated to larger facilities and major renovations have taken place at six branches.</p>
1167<p>In the more than 100 years of serving the community, the library system has experienced tremendous change and growth, all the while remaining committed to being “the compelling community destination, by providing a five‑star customer service experience.”</p>
