Miami Dade Public Library

Miami-Dade libraries could lose $20 million under Amendment 3, the property tax referendum facing Florida voters this November — around 16% of its budget. The measure could cause branch closures, fewer hours, employee layoffs and program cuts.

Local leaders expect budget shortfalls nearing the billions of dollars in coming years should the amendment pass, meaning libraries and other local services could be on the chopping block.

A local library in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood is shutting down for about 10 months to undergo extensive renovations. However, the community will still be able to benefit from library services in the meantime.
