Widen Your World Without Emptying Your Wallet

A Monroe County Public Library card is a passport to information, education, and personal enrichment

A library card has long been seen as a way to get books — and more recently movies, audiobooks, and internet access.

That's all still true! But there's a lot more that a Monroe County Public Library card can do for you, with no subscription fees or ads:

📖 We still have books, for every age in just about every genre. And now we offer them in multiple formats including print, eBooks and eAudiobooks. Explore our collection here.

🎞️ Watch movies and TV shows on our streaming app Kanopy, or on DVD. The collection includes recent releases, classics, documentaries, and international films, as well as kids' content.

🎶 Stream music with Freegal Music. There are more than 15 million songs in more than 200 genres, including the entire Sony catalog. Make and share playlists, or check out different channels and playlists.

📰Stay updated and read newspapers and magazines – at the library or online, including New York Times digital access at the library or from home. We also have 6,000+ magazine titles on Libby, including previous editions, with no holds or waitlists.

✏️ Looking to learn something new, even if you're not heading back to the classroom? Our language-learning app Mango has courses in more than 70 languages, including English as a second language. Are you a visual learner? Our streaming app Kanopy has instructional videos on almost any topic you can imagine, including the Great Courses.

💻 We've got free wifi, laptops available for two hours of in-library use, and printing, including mobile printing from your device. Need a little one-on-one guidance? Our branches offer that — contact your local branch to find out how to schedule a help session.

🏛️LawDepot offers customizable business and legal documents, like leases, wills, and bills of sale.

🎨 Connect with the community. Our branches offer programs with arts and crafts, as well as gatherings for games like mahjong and chess, and book clubs. Check our calendar for what's happening near you.

📜 Check out the history of the Keys, or research your own. The Florida Keys History Center is the premiere archive for photographs and documents about the Keys, and we're adding more online every day. And if you are on the library wifi, you get access to the library edition of Ancestry.com. Bring your laptop, or borrow one of ours!
