Miami-Dade Public Library System

(MIAMI, AUGUST 2, 2012) – Now that it's time to get ready for a new school year, the Miami-Dade Public Library System wants to be a student's source for information and entertainment! Visit www.mdpls.org and search Databases and More for science project ideas; homework, SAT and other college entrance exams help; and information about important people and moments in history.
