The Division manages the State Library and Archives, supports public libraries, directs records management services, and is the designated information resource provider for the state of Florida.
Florida law states that employees and agents of the state and its subdivisions (i.e., any unit of local government) are not personally liable in tort for injuries or damage resulting from his or her actions in the scope of employment.
The employees and agents must not act “in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.” Florida Statute § 768.28(9)(a)
Many of these resources and programs are funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Florida's LSTA program is administered by the Department of State's Division of Library and Information Services.
