Very happy & I don't think I'll leave unless its to move to Italy! :)) But the library is great for studying. Doesn't have a huge selection of books but enough to keep your neurons stimulated. They also have many free classes for the community. Today I attended a meditation class before I did my school work. Very clean and the plus it's across from the beach! :)) I'm glad they decided to keep the library in this location! It's PERFECT! :)) Online has the schedule of all the classes offered at this branch! Locals should definitely check it out!

I usually go to the Deerfield library filled with smelly patrons, loud children and kind librarians. Even though the Boca library was beautiful everyone who worked there was kind of rude.

Not everyone who worked there was unpleasant but from now on, I will stay in Broward where the employees are nice.

There's something for all ages, from kids to seniors, which makes it such a welcoming and inclusive space. The center itself is spacious, clean, and has convenient restroom access. There's also rental space available for events or gatherings. Class offerings range from language and crafting to games, dancing, gardening, and more -- there's always something new to try! There are several other community centers in Pompano as well, so it's worth exploring them to see what each location has to offer.

The center's construction began in June 2018, and it was completed in 2020, earning LEED v4.1 Gold certification for Existing Buildings. I got a chance to check out the inside and was impressed of the building. This community center in Cresthaven is named after Charlotte Burrie, a former Commissioner and Vice Mayor. She was an advocate for building a community center in the Cresthaven neighborhood of Pompano Beach. She served as a city commissioner from 2007 until 2018. The community center has an lobby and reception area, administrative offices, small conference room, auditorium with stage and dressing rooms, warming kitchen and two multi-purpose activity rooms. Programs held here include line dancing, Silver Sneakers, yoga, bunco, karate, jazzercise, and Zumba classes. There is also a community board game night. There are flyers for all kinds of events posted in the community center and a listing of dates and times on the website. This community center serves as a hub for cultural, civic, and recreational activities in a building that was designed with a focus on accessibility and functionality. Community centers provide inclusive spaces for diverse groups to meet, learn, and grow which reduces the feeling of isolation while empowering community members with skills. Providing affordable recreational and wellness programs is a vital component of a communities well being and the Charlotte Burrie Community Center does an excellent job of meeting this need.

Over the years, the library operated from several locations, including the Army Air Field and Boca Raton City Hall. Today, the Spanish River Library and Community Center is one of two libraries in Boca Raton. This library is a stunning 41,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library officially opened on January 26, 2008, following the approval of a $19.8 million bond by Boca Raton taxpayers in 2003 to expand the city's public library system. The building is so beautiful that it even serves as a wedding venue and features a catering kitchen for special events. Beyond its extensive collection of fiction and nonfiction books, the library offers quiet reading and study spaces, meeting rooms, a snack room with vending machines, a children's area, an art gallery, and scenic patio seating. The Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library, a nonprofit volunteer organization founded in 1990, has raised funds for many major library initiatives, including the library's bookmobile, which brings library services to underserved communities; AWE Early Literacy Stations at both the Downtown Boca Raton Public Library and Spanish River Library; and the award-winning StoryWalk trails located in Boca Raton's public parks. Perhaps the library's most distinctive feature is its breathtaking lakeside setting next to the Pondhawk Natural Area. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide beautiful views of Blue Lake, creating a peaceful atmosphere for reading or working. A scenic loop trail circles the lake and connects to Pondhawk's 79 acres of paved and natural-surface trails, where visitors can spot native plants and wildlife. The trail also links to Countess de Hoernle Park and Spanish River Athletic Park, making the library the perfect starting point for a day of nature and learning.

It also has a recording studio similar to the one at the main library in West Palm Beach. I love all of the cozy seating spaces set up throughout the library for people to read, learn, and engage. This state of the library is a wonderful resource to connect the community.

Goldberg, who was selected from a pool of more than 70 professional artists from all over the world.

The six columns have more than 400 contributions, in 13 languages to reflect the wide range of cultural, social, and ethnic backgrounds that Make up the community. Reading them is meant to spark curiosity and conversation. ​
