===Public libraries===

The [[North Miami Public Library|North Miami public library]] is the city's library. While over the years the county wide [[Miami-Dade Public Library System]] has taken over the libraries of most of the cities in the county, the North Miami public library has remained independent.<ref>"[http://www.northmiamifl.gov/departments/library/history.aspx Welcome to North Miami Public Library]." City of North Miami. Retrieved on March 21, 2014.</ref>
The North Miami Public Library was first opened in 1932 by the Biscayne Park Woman's Club. When the library first opened it was located at the City of North Miami's town hall under the supervision of E.May Avil the City Clerk. The library was closed during World War II and it was reopened in September 1945 in the same location at the town hall and still under the supervision of the City Clerk E. May Avil. At this time the library was funded by donations and member fees.<ref name="City of North Miami">{{cite web|url=http://www.northmiamifl.gov/departments/library/history.aspx|website=North Miami Public Library|access-date=22 April 2015|title=North Miami Public Library - History}}</ref>
"In 1948 the Biscayne Park Woman’s Club turned the library over to the city of North Miami and in 1949 a public referendum established a free Public Library under provisions of the Florida Statutes, setting up a Library Fund and a Library board to administer the operation. Twin sisters, Mrs. Edla Lunden and Mrs. Alma Anderson, were appointed as Librarian and Assistant Librarian, respectively". After the twins retired, Miss Phyllis Gray served from 1955 to 1959 as the library's first professional Librarian.<ref name="City of North Miami" /> Today Paul Bazile<ref>{{Cite web |title=Staff Directory • Paul Bazile, MLIS, MPA |url=https://www.northmiamifl.gov/directory.aspx?EID=225 |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=www.northmiamifl.gov}}</ref> is the current Library Director.
In the fall of 2003 the North Miami Public Library's Director signed a Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement with the public library directors of the cities of North Miami Beach, Hialeah and the Miami-Dade Public Library System thereby allowing their patrons free access to the participating libraries.<ref name="City of North Miami" /> Today the library is undergoing a $1.5 million renovation and the main building is closed to the public, limited library services are available from an annex building next to the main building. The library re-opening is planned for some time in June or July 2015. Library information can be accessed at the library's website.
