Need a mask? The Library can help

Free face masks are available for pick up at all 50 of our library locations. Just stop by any location to request and pick up masks while supplies last. It’s all part of Miami-Dade County’s efforts to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that everyone in our community has access to a mask. To find your nearest branch, visit www.mdpls.org/branches. #MaskUpMiamiDade
