We’re at the age where hipsters roam the Earth chasing food trucks and indie rock has pretty much taken over the scene for the past 10 years at this point.

The library system needs all the help they can get and none more-so than our very own. With so much strife and turmoil taking place within Miami-Dade county government it’s almost impossible for anyone to find the time to give a damn about our libraries... Read More →
