In Broward County, our libraries are more than collections of books. They are centers of literary and lifelong learning. New technology has enabled the library to provide access to information in an unprecedented manner. Whether you are learning to read, starting a business, researching a school paper or seeking entertainment, Broward County Library has something to offer. To underscore this commitment by Broward County residents, the County Commission has pledged to provide the critical operational funds needed to sustain our expanding library system.
Libraries change lives by providing access to information.
The County Commission believes the mission of libraries is to provide materials and services for residents seeking knowledge, lifelong learning and recreation. With this in mind, the Broward County Commission strongly encourages the library, in partnership with other organizations, to continue providing new technology and the materials necessary for our citizens to begin a new century in the information age. The Broward County Library Advisory Board had a busy, fulfilling year as we watched the plans from the bond issue initiative become reality. We were gratified to see so many people participate in public meetings where they could add their input to discussions on community and neighborhood libraries. The advisory board believes this kind of exchange will ensure that our proposals for new and expanded libraries meet the needs of patrons, staff and partners.
