 ></p>\n<p><strong>About the Film Collection</strong></p>\n<p>The 16mm film
  collection has been part of the Library's holdings for over 55 years. It 
 began in the 1960s\, and its first films were part of the City of Miami&rs
 quo\;s public library before there was a county library. When MDPLS was fo
 rmed\, the County supplemented its local funding for films with Federal LS
 CA (Library Services and Construction Act) grants. Apart from leased featu
 re films\, all films were purchased for free exhibition for the life of th
 e print. Subjects within the collection include experimental/avant-garde a
 rt films\, non-narrated films\, children&rsquo\;s films\, Black history\, 
 Floridiana\, and local history. Today\, there are over 4\,000 films within
  the collection.</p>\n<p><br /><strong>About the Division of Special Colle
