Public libraries connect our community to essential resources, from early childhood education and technology access to lifelong learning. They serve as welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life, regardless of age or background. 📚✨

Appearing on the Nov. 3 ballot, Amendment 3 would alter how Florida counties and municipalities use property tax revenue and significantly reduce the property tax funds collected locally.

Property taxes directly support Broward County Library's 37 branches, keeping doors open and underwriting:
• Free educational programs & services
• Operating hours & dedicated staffing
• Books, e-Books & digital resources
• Technology & essential community tools

Serving 5,000,000 residents every year, our libraries help children learn, job seekers connect, and families thrive. Learn more about Amendment 3 and its potential impact on local library funding at bplfoundation.org/amendment3.

📚✨ Books & Bites returns this fall with a special afternoon featuring local author Jan Cress Dondi (The Navigator's Letter) and the remarkable true story behind her USA TODAY bestselling book, The Navigator's Letter.

A Fort Lauderdale resident and veteran litigation paralegal, Dondi spent 15 years conducting rigorous archival research and legal writing to bring this history to light. Her journey began with a mission to uncover her family's deep ties to World War II, specifically the perilous Allied campaign against the oilfields of Ploesti, Romania.

Her extensive work led to the discovery of hundreds of wartime letters written by her father, Bob, and her uncle, John B., alongside a POW diary. Corroborated by thousands of records from U.S. and German national archives and field research spanning Romania, Germany, and England, The Navigator's Letter captures the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and determination of two young airmen during one of the war's most dangerous missions.

🗓️ Tuesday, October 20
⏰ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
📍 Belmont Village Senior Living Fort Lauderdale (1031 Seminole Dr, Fort Lauderdale)
