 rong></p>\n<p>The 16mm film collection has been part of the Library's hold
 ings for over 55 years. It began in the 1960s\, and its first films were p
 art of the City of Miami&rsquo\;s public library before there was a county
  library. When MDPLS was formed\, the County supplemented its local fundin
 g for films with Federal LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) gran
 ts. Apart from leased feature films\, all films were purchased for free ex
 hibition for the life of the print. Subjects within the collection include
  experimental/avant-garde art films\, non-narrated films\, children&rsquo\
 ;s films\, Black history\, Floridiana\, and local history. Today\, there a
 re over 4\,000 films within the collection.</p>\n<p><strong>About the Divi
