Black Gawk Down

Community-resource officer Ian Sachs notes that there are several county libraries near Opa-locka that residents can use.

In 2001 the city received a $100,000 grant from the county's Office of Community and Economic Development to refurbish the library with furniture, books, a computer, and audio-visual equipment. At the moment the building stands nearly empty, waiting for the city to hire a contractor to renovate it for office space. Sachs says that should happen soon.
