Collections

The Alcee Hastings Collection contains materials that document the career of Broward County lawyer, judge, and U.S. House of Representatives Congressman Alcee L. Hastings, such as photographs, printed materials, books, artwork, plaques, certificates, and award objects. The majority of the materials in the collection came from Congressman Hasting's congressional office.

The collection is comprised of Bobby G. Glenn's correspondence, awards and honors, newspaper clippings, Lieutenant uniform and hat, funeral program, and one photograph. Glenn served as Fort Lauderdale's first Black firefighter.

The Library-In-Action Collection documents the Library-In-Action initiative started by the Broward County Library in 1975 to address literacy and access in underserved communities. The collection also documents the career of Tyrone Bryant from his tenure at the Langston Hughes Library through his directorship at Library-In-Action, as well as the Sistrunk Historical Festival.
