Sat at a comfy chair in a secluded corner and read my Flash comic. The library is split between a teen/adult section and childrens section. Some decent magazines and dvd offerings too.

Ultra quiet inside and the librarian answered all my questions starting with Plantation residents have free access to books and non-resident adults pay only $30.00 per year and $15.00 for kids. Very well organized library with large book genres titles for simple navigation. Only a few people reading books or studying on their laptops. Getting a small café inside would be a great attribute. The printer use was only .15 cents per b&w page and free use of the internet on the computer. They also had a very small section of books for sale which was odd but maybe the proceeds go toward the upkeep. The gender neutral bathroom was clean and located near the book checkput counter.

I stopped by the Tamarac branch library to pick up a dvd I had placed on hold. The dvd could have…read morebeen sent to a library branch closest to me, but I didn't mind the drive. It was a very large space with many organized shelves displaying a vast genre of books, dvds, cds, and audio books. There were plenty of computers, seats, and table seating throughout, which gave it a functional feel. If you want more privacy, you can request a quiet room. After picking up the dvd from the hold section, I walked around and chose a few more movies to watch. I wish I could borrow some cds, but my vehicle is not equipped with a cd player. Oh how I miss those good old days. Venturing to other Broward County libraries are interesting. Despite the world's shift toward digitalization, it is appreciated that the libraries are still offering their resources to the community.

I'm not crazy and my memory serves me right! Not only have I reviewed my neighborhood library, but…read moreI have posted wonderful photos too. This is the closest library to home and we have come here for nearly two decades. They have made great strides at keeping it clean inside and out. The books (including a Spanish language collection), reading materials and DVD selection is well organized. In addition to the 100-seat room for meetings, they have a computer room for adults with space for a couple dozen people. Years ago, I spent many hours there and it was quiet enough that you could flow in your thoughts to write. Moreover, they've added computers so more children can work on iReady and play educational games. There isn't a time I've walked in here that there aren't a number of tutors helping children and adults alike. The staff is helpful and there is a guard who assists them, which is an added bonus in the afternoons when the students from the nearby Middle/High School start coming in. In addition to the parking spaces in the front (facing Commercial Blvd.), there is parking in the side and rear of the lake that divides the library from the Tamarac Community Center. Following are their hours of operation: Monday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday: CLOSED

Although it's a private library, it is available to the public. My friend told me about this library as her middle school son volunteered here during the summer. She said it was really nice during the summer when it was quiet and they had the library to themselves. I went during the weekday last week. In the midst of back to school college students everywhere! Lol. They have security by the main entrance and college students are asked to scan their university IDs. All other guests will be let in by the guard. You must have a Broward County Libraries card to check out books at this location. The nice thing is, you can return the books to any Broward County Library and they will ship the book directly to Alvin Sherman Library. So convenient. When you walk into the library, the circulation desk is on the left, there is a computer working lab area on the right, and if you go straight, you'll find the children's book location, there are new books located on the spinning racks next to the stairs, and there is also a hidden bestseller books room located next to the circulation desk and entrance/exit. I believe there are four floors in this library. Tons and tons of tables and rooms for study areas for the college students. My favorite part about this museum is the Chihuly display on the second floor, they fancy! Another fascinating thing about this library, are the moving bookshelves! You heard me right. They have digital buttons where you can move the actual bookshelves. It's such a smart way to save space. Brilliant. Unfortunately, they don't have any Friends of the Library books for sale at this location. But the librarian did mention they have two big annual book sales per year. You can sign up for newsletter on their website. There are also two book returns at the roundabout outside of the library in case you don't want to park and get out of your car. There is a parking garage but you have to pay for parking using the park by mobile app. I believe it was $1.61 per hour. Students park for free with their NSU parking stickers.

The place is TINY but I heard they are expanding, which I am super excited to hear that they are! The owner was super friendly and was making sure everyone was able to walk around and look at the shelves when they were trying to find something interesting, like me. Prices were pretty good and I like that each book has the cost on the first page when you open the book. There were some beautiful first editions that I was tempted to buy if I had the fund for. There was truly something for everyone because they had so many different books in different genres and that was one that I really appreciated because I found a few different things I didn't know I was looking for!

On the…read moreoutside, there are a few bookshelves with a variety of cheap books that you can actually buy after hours and put the money in the mail slot to pay for them. Inside, it feels like you're transported somewhere magical. Books literally line everywhere you go and I loved being able to crane my neck all the way back and see books going upwards towards the roof. It is easy to figure out the sections, they have history, art, literature and a variety of other genres to look around at. I found a old edition of The Silence of The Lambs and had to buy it. The book was in very nice condition and very reasonably priced for what it was! I will say, if it's busy like it was when I was there, you will have to scooch past people multiple times because the two rows of books are basically only large enough for one person standing sideways. A gorgeous and reasonably priced bookstore that you need to see in person to truly appreciate it like I did!

Security not only gives you a menacing look when you walk in, they also have to walk by the computers every now and then and look at your screen I mean come on! Not only is that an invasion of privacy, what could you possibly be looking for? I thought libraries could control what people could search for and block certain content?. Seriously, no other library I've been to has ever done that. I was very upset about this. Not enough chairs to sit in to study. WiFi connection is great though, I'll give them that. Personally, I'll stick to North Campus library instead. I'd suggest you make an extra trip to a better library with more books, more computers, and no security guards all up in ya business!

The 72,000 square foot Northwest Regional Library next door to Coral Springs Charter School opened…read moreon Feb. 15, 2001 replacing the much smaller branch library at 10077 NW 29th St built in 1982. The library was built to service the needs of the northwest area of Broward County. This library and the Southwest Regional Library in Pembroke Pines were built from a 139.9 million dollar bond approved in March of 19999. This library not only services Coral Springs residents but those who live in Margate, Tamarac, and Sunrise as well. The two-story Northwest Regional Library includes a 300-seat auditorium, computer technology room with over 100 computers, a teen activity room, a storytelling room in the children's section, tutoring rooms, small study rooms and conference rooms in the adult section. The children's and adults' sections are on two different floors. Featured outside the library is a 9/11 Memorial and a Martin Luther King, Jr monument. I love the Broward County Library system because there is so much to explore. The library collection includes best sellers, adult fiction, DVD's, audiobooks and CD's. It also has digital devices available for loan including Veterans HotSpots and children's Playaway LaunchPads. Its collection includes International language materials in Spanish, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Hebrew and Russian. The programs for children, teens, and adults are excellent here. They offer author talks nd educational workshops for all ages. You can join a book club, take a computer class, or watch a movie. Stop in to check out all the great things you can do here. If you haven't been to a library in awhile you might be surprised by how much they offer. Libraries foster a sense of community with their extensive collections, commitment to technology, and diverse range of programs. This library is a cultural hub for the community. Whether you're a seasoned reader, a technology enthusiast, or a parent looking to instill a love of reading in your child, the Northwest Regional Library is a must-visit destination.

The museum is reasonably priced and a great size. While it's not huge, there's plenty to keep children engaged. We've been visiting every two to three months for the past two years, and it's been fun seeing some of the recent upgrades they've made. The space is open and thoughtfully divided into different themed areas. Kids can enjoy a slide, a music and movement section, a grocery store and kitchen play area, a large swing, a few simple video games, painting stations, and several daily craft activities. They've also recently added a pretend garden where children can "plant" flowers, which is such a cute interactive feature. There are playful activities scattered throughout the museum, so there's always something new to discover. Everything is designed to encourage creativity, hands-on learning, and imaginative play. My four-year-old nephew absolutely loves coming here, and we've been bringing him since he was two years old. It's one of our favorite local outings. One thing I also appreciate is that it never feels overly crowded, although we usually visit during the week. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, and they're especially helpful in the craft areas, where they're always encouraging and willing to assist the kids with their projects. Overall, I highly recommend Young At Art for families with young children. It's a fun, creative, and educational experience that keeps us coming back again and again.
