X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<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. Its first films were part of the City of Miami&rsquo\;s
  public library and began in the 1960s before there was a county library. 
 When MDPLS was formed\, the County supplemented its local funding for film
 s with Federal LSCA grants (Library Services and Construction Act). Apart 
 from leased feature films\, all films were purchased for free exhibition f
 or the life of the print. Subjects within the collection include experimen
 tal/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></p>\n<p><strong>About the Divis
