Frankie says: ♡☆☆☆☆Good place to get your stuff done. Wish they had faster internet but our tax dollars couldn't be used for something useful, what sense would that make? Nice staff and clean place. No issues there. Frankie out 😎
Yep, this is my 5th time coming and I love the staff, how clean it is, the size of the library and the amount of group and independent study areas.
I love the Broward County Library system and I especially love this library. I am here several times a week and have been for the last twenty years. This library is on the campus of Broward College. The entire library is open to to the general public except for one small study and computer area that is reserved for students only in the back of the first floor. Because this a college library they have more and longer hours than other branches. They are even open all day Saturday and Sunday. The only time they are closed is if it is a national holiday.
The programs for children and teens are excellent here. During the summer they even run a sort of free day camp with special programs every day. I brought my daughter to all of the programs for kids here as she was growing up. She joined their book clubs and made countless crafts. Later she joined the teen programs. I credit the library with helping her to be successful in school. The people who work in the children's section, Mr. Richard, Avril, and Rosmei are some of the best people I know. The have become life long friends and even now that my daughter has grown up they still ask about her whenever I see them. Through the library programs my daughter has won contests with prizes, taken free classes to help her with preparation for tests like the SAT as well as gained volunteer hours for graduation. If you kid needs volunteer hours this is a wonderful place for them to go.
In addition to all of the fantastic programs for kids they have programs for adults as well. You can join a book club, take a computer class, or watch a movie. They have an auditorium that they hold functions in like events for the college, speakers, and music programs. They also have rotating art displays in their cases as well as upstairs. Sometimes they show the art from the college students in the lobby. The friends of the library have a little booth on the main floor where they sell snacks and gifts to raise funds for the library. A couple of times a year the friends have a fantastic book sale where they sell hundreds of books, some the latest releases for a dollar. Something is always going on. For instance tomorrow is May the 4th or as Star wars fans call it May the Fourth Be With You. They are having fun events for kids and movie screenings to celebrate at different libraries across the county.
The best part of the library of course is the ability to check out all of the books, CD's and DVD's you would like for free. When I want something I just order it online and usually in just a day or two it is waiting for me on the hold shelf at checkout. I even get new DVD releases this way. They will give you an entire week with a new movie for free. If actual books are no longer your thing you can even check out e books as well as music and audio books for your android or apple device using Hoopla. Don't have a kindle or nook? No problem you can borrow one. Freegal music allows you to download six songs a week to your device for free. The libraries catalog is endless. I can only think of maybe two times in twenty years that I had to buy what I needed instead of borrowing it.
There is so much going on at this library that it is honestly hard to keep track of it all. Fortunately they provide a handy flyer at the entrance that lists all of their events as well as all of the other events at every other library in Broward County for the month. This information can be found online as well. The reference librarian can be found on the second floor to assist you with any need you might have. Computers are available for any adult to use with a library card on the second floor, first floor has computers for kids. The library building itself is lovely. It is two stories with plenty of windows letting in natural light. There are tons of tables and chairs everywhere for people to study, work, and read. They do discourage cell phone use in the library and are quite strict on that. This library is like my home away from home. I truly appreciate how much is available to me.
Great, convenience, and the staff very helpful.😊
Great library, I go there a lot to get movies, audio books, books or different events. The staff is very helpful, the place is keep clean and organize. There is also an area for the children to play, read books or be in the computer.
Ive bern here for two hours, its huge with up & down stairs. You can always find a place by yourself to focus on what ever you desire. I forgot i was in a public place for a while until i looked up. Lol.
It's a medium sized library kept in good condition with lots of places to sit and study.
Great library I love to come here to study, though there is a time where it gets busy in the afternoon, children come and make a bunch of noise, best to avoid at that time.
