 <p>The 16mm film collection has been part of the Library's holdings for ov
 er 55 years. It began in the 1960s\, and its first films were part of the 
 City of Miami&rsquo\;s public library before there was a county library. W
 hen MDPLS was formed\, the County supplemented its local funding for films
  with Federal LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) grants. Apart f
 rom leased feature films\, all films were purchased for free exhibition fo
 r the life of the print. Subjects within the collection include experiment
 al/avant-garde art 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
