If you owe more than $30.00 on your Library account for more than 30 days, your account may be referred to a collection agency. You can visit any of our branches to pay your balance which must be paid down to zero once it has been referred to the collection agency. The Library accepts cash or personal checks.

We have materials for adults, children and young adults. We have large print and Braille materials for persons with visual disabilities. You can access a listing of these by searching the online catalog for "Large type books" or "Braille and print books". In addition, patrons accessing the Library's web page remotely can download audiobooks, videos and e-books from the Digital Library page. How long can I keep the items I borrow from the Library? Most books, CDs, cassettes and audiobooks can be borrowed for 28 days. DVDs and VHS tapes can be borrowed for 7 days. High-demand titles, in any format, and those with a large number of patron requests can be checked out for 7 days. Laptops and laptop accessories (DVD drives, headphones) can be borrowed for use in the Library, for up to 60 minutes. Jump Start kits are available to daycare centers and preschools for up to 14 days. Items obtained for patrons through the InterLibrary Loan system can be borrowed for the period of time indicated by the lending Library. The checkout receipt shows the due date for each item. Patrons can borrow up to 50 items. Included in those 50 items, up to 10 videos or DVDs can be borrowed. Only 1 laptop can be checked out per Library card and 2 laptop accessories (headphones, DVD drive). There are no limits by subject. What does it cost to borrow items?

What are the fines for overdue items? Adult titles (books, CDs, cassettes, audiobooks) - $.10/day Can I borrow items if I owe money on my account? You will be able to borrow items as long as the balance on your account does not exceed $30.00. However, when your Library card comes up for renewal once a year, any balance on the account must be paid down to zero in order for you to continue borrowing materials. If I find a lost item I already paid for can I get my money back? You will need to bring the item to your branch along with the receipt showing your payment. The refund for the item, minus the overdue fines, will first be credited to your account to offset any outstanding balances. If there is a remaining balance owed to you, you can choose to receive this as a check in the mail or leave the amount in your account to offset any future fines or fees. Instead of paying for a lost item can I purchase a replacement and give it to the Library? The Library accepts replacements that are an exact match for the item lost. A lost hardcover book can only be replaced with another hardcover copy of the same title and same edition. A lost DVD consisting of a two-disk edition of a movie can only be replaced by the same two-disk edition DVD. I borrowed an item at one branch. Can I return it at another branch? Yes. Materials borrowed at any branch can be returned to any Miami-Dade Public Library System location. Please be advised that the City of Hialeah Public Library, the North Miami Public Library and the North Miami Beach Public Library are not part of the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Residents of these cities can obtain Library cards from the Miami-Dade Public Library and borrow materials through a reciprocal borrowing agreement, but Miami-Dade Public Library items cannot be returned at these libraries and items belonging to these libraries should not be returned to Miami-Dade Public Library System branches. The Surfside Library in the Town of Surfside and the Brockway Memorial Library in the Village of Miami Shores are not part of the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Residents of these areas can obtain a Miami-Dade Public Library card for an annual fee of $50.00. Items borrowed from the Miami-Dade Public Library System branches should not be returned to the Surfside or Brockway libraries and items owned by these libraries should not be returned to Miami-Dade Public Library System branches. I need to return an item but my local branch is closed. What can I do? All branches have book drops that Items borrowed through our Interlibrary Loan department from other library systems cannot be left in book drops. These must be returned in person to one of the public service desks at any of our branches. If you wish to obtain a receipt for returned items you will need to visit a branch during operating hours to return your material. Please check the map of locations for the hours of operation of the nearest branch. Items can be renewed up to six times if no other patrons have requested the item. Patrons can renew online by 1) logging into My Account, 2) selecting the "Checked Out" tab, 3) putting a check
mark by the titles they wish to renew 4) and clicking the RENEW button. Electronic phone renewal is available by calling (305) 579-2023 and following the voice prompts. You will need to provide your PIN. You can also renew by calling or visiting any branch. Why am I sometimes unable to renew an item? If you try to renew a title online or through the electronic phone system and are unable to do so it is probably because either the item has been requested by another patron or the item has been renewed six times already - the maximum number of times an item can be renewed. If the item has been requested by someone else, it will not renew. You will need to return the item and place a new request for it to get the item again at a later date. You cannot renew or checkout new items if the balance on your account is over $30.00. How many requests may I place? Patrons may have up to 30 requests on their accounts. How can I check on the status of my request? To check the status of your request go into the online catalog and click on the My Account tab on the right side of the screen. Your Library card number and PIN are required. Once you enter these numbers, you will be taken to the Overview page. Then select Holds from the top menu bar and it will give you the items that are ready for pick-up and those still pending. How long are requested items held for patrons? 10 days. Can a member of my family or a friend pick up items that are on hold for me? If you send someone to the Library to pick up an item that is being held for you he/she must have your Library card in order to check out the item. Can Library staff recommend a good book to read? Yes. Librarians can work with you to find new items of interest. You can search the online catalog, by subject, author or title and read reviews if available. The title page for items will include links to other items by the same author, and other subject headings for you to explore. It will also allow you to search the web for additional information on the author, subject or title. The website includes staff recommendations for children, young adults and adult. In the literature section of the Databases page you will find two databases, What Do I Read Next? and NoveList,
which can assist patrons in selecting new titles of interest. Many branches have book clubs that meet regularly to read and discuss books. You can join one of these to get recommendations and have the opportunity to discuss titles after reading them. For a schedule, check out the Events Calendar.
How do I find a book at the Library? Most of the items the Library lends to the public (including books, videos, and sound recordings) can be found by searching the online catalog. Branches all have computer stations with access to the online catalog and it can be accessed remotely through the website. Through the online catalog you can see which branches own a title and whether it is currently available or checked out. You can request a title and have it sent to your local branch for pickup. You can also access your account and renew items you have checked out, view your requests and make changes to them. How can I search just for specific types of items like DVDs or titles in a specific language? The online catalog allows you to limit your search to specific type of items. To do so click on the Search tab
and then click on the Advanced Search option. You'll see the screen below where you can search by title, author,
subject or general keyword and also limit your search by type of material, audience, language, location and user defined
limits like publication date. You can select a limit by clicking on it. If you want to remove the limit hold down the
CONTROL key and click on it. A title I want is not available at my local branch but there is a copy at another branch - how can I get it? Search for the item in the online catalog. When you bring up the title page showing the information about the
title and the copies click on the button reading "Request Item" located on the right side of the screen. If you haven't already
logged in, the system will ask you at this point to enter your Library card number and PIN. The Library card number
is the 14-digit number on the back of the card. Your PIN is the 4-digit number you selected at the time of registration.
Next you will see a window where you'll be able to indicate the branch location to which the item will be sent.
The branch listed on your Library account as the location you registered at will be the default branch requested items
will go to unless you specify another branch. You will also have the option of requesting that the title be mailed to
you through the Borrow-by-Mail program for a $2.00 per-item charge. There are over 100 requests for a title I want. Does this mean I'll have to wait a year or more to get this item? The Library monitors the number of requests on titles and orders multiple copies of titles that have a lot of requests or are expected to be very popular. If there are 100 requests on a popular DVD you want and the Library has ordered 50 copies, you will probably get that title in a couple of weeks since DVDs have a checkout period of 7 days. (The checkout period for items with many requests is reduced to 7 days so that copies can be circulated to other patrons within a reasonable time period). I need a title but I don't see it in your online catalog. What can I do? You can visit the Suggestion for Purchase page to recommend that the title be purchased. Most suggested items are purchased, however due to budget considerations and collection policies, the Library may not be able to purchase every title requested. If the title you suggested is purchased, a request for it will be entered in your account so you receive the item when it arrives at the Library. If the Library cannot purchase the item or if it's an older publication, you can request that we try to obtain it for you through InterLibrary Loan, a service which allows us to obtain materials for patrons from other Library systems. How can I get a question answered if I can't go to the Library? All branches offer telephone reference which is meant to assist you with short, factual questions. The telephone number of your local branch will be listed on the branch page. For questions in specific subject areas you can call the special departments at the Main Library.
You can also use the Ask A Librarian service to chat with a librarian live or e-mail your question. Do you have phone directories from other cities and countries? The Business and Science department at the Main Library maintains a small collection of phone directories. Staff can assist you in obtaining directory information. If you have a library card you can access the Reference USA database which lists residential and business addresses in the USA. Do you have materials in languages other than English? The Library's collection includes materials in many different languages. All branches have materials in Spanish. The Language Department at the Main Library and the Hispanic Branch include large Spanish language collections. There are large collections as well of items in Chinese, Creole, French, Portuguese and Russian. The Main Library collects materials in 27 different languages. What online research options do you offer? Check out the Library's Databases page for a comprehensive list of all the online databases and reference ebooks available to patrons. The databases and reference ebooks on this page are grouped into categories such as art, biography, current events, health, history, etc. Patrons can search individual databases from this page or they can search multiple databases at once from the Library's online catalog. My teacher told me I need to include books in my bibliography so I can't use the Library's online databases right? The Library's online databases and reference ebooks offer electronic versions which may replicate what the pages looked like in the printed editions. The electronic versions of an Ebook or a magazine article will often give you the page information from the printed editions so you can cite the article in a bibliography. Check out this example from the ebook Contemporary Hispanic Biography featuring a biographical article about opera singer Jose Carreras:
