Computer Library

Knowledge is power – and we want to empower all those we serve with the tools and resources needed to achieve greater
self-sufficiency and build a lasting foundation for success in the world. Our Computer Library will be outfitted to include 20 computer workstations, loaded with the software programs currently used by businesses, educational institutions, and the Miami Dade Public Library System (MDPLS), with full internet access and office support (e.g., printers, paper and basic supplies). The facility will offer programming from basic computers and adult education for graduation equivalency (GED) to English and Spanish literacy and more advanced computer training. Enriched by collaboration with the MDPLS, cardholders will be afforded access to the full range of on-line books and literature offered by the library system as well as the ability to order and check out books system-wide. The Library will host a wide range of readings, storytelling, speakers, workshops and multi-faceted programming throughout the year.
