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. There is an active book fair that had a large adult section of donated books for sale at $1 - $2. The librarian was very sweet. A food and clothing donation bins are at the front counter. Got an application for a FREE library card with proof of ID in Broward County. Parking was not an issue.

I frequent this library because I'm a teacher and tutor. The use of the tutoring rooms is such a…read moregreat resource, but getting one most afternoons after school isn't always easy. It is a first come first serve basis, which I think leaves room for discord. There is one library worker who is younger looking that is extremely rude to students and adults in need of tutoring rooms. Today, as always, I go up to the desk and ask if a room is available. She tells me one will be available in about 20 minutes, so I find a table where I can work with my student while we wait for a room. Not long after I see someone is leaving a room, so I make my way to the desk. Another lady and I get to the desk at the same time, while this librarian is addressing another person. This other lady had just walked up the stairs and her student wasn't there yet. When the librarian turns and looks at us, she addresses the other lady who says that the room is now empty, and looks at me because she knows that I had asked for a room. Instead of doing the right thing and saying that I had asked for a room about 20 minutes before, she says, "You guys will have to decide who gets the room", leaving it to us to basically argue over the room. Thankfully the other lady was nice enough to say that I could have the room since I had been waiting, but the librarian should have never done that!

Southwest Regional Library is located in the eastern portion of the 77-acre Academic Village, which…read morealso houses Pembroke Pines Charter School and Broward College Pines Center. Dedicated in 2000, it was the first library built with funds from the $139 million library bond issue approved by Broward County voters in 1999. This 78,000-square-foot, two-story library is a joint-use facility of the Broward County Library System and Pembroke Pines. It's open to the public while also serving as the school library for charter high school students. Broward College students have access to a computer lab on the first floor. The library's collection includes over 100,000 lending items for children and adults in multiple languages, including books and multimedia. Amenities include a teen activity room, children's storytime room, 300-seat auditorium, gift shop, classrooms, quiet study rooms, conference rooms, tutoring rooms, and a computer lab. Programs for all ages are offered regularly--details are available at the front desk or on the library's website. On my visit, there was a holiday model train exhibit. More recently they had a St. Patrick's Day photo op on the second floor and an Easter Peeps diorama contest. Broward County truly excels at libraries, and Southwest Regional is no exception. The space is large, clean, modern, and welcoming. The lobby floor features a terrazzo design that gives the illusion of the Everglades, while the ceiling shows the sky from an alligator's underwater perspective--a really fun touch. Whether you're studying, working remotely, or just browsing, there's plenty of room to spread out. Quiet areas are genuinely quiet, and community spaces feel relaxed and inviting. If you haven't visited a library in a while, Southwest Regional might surprise you with how much it can enrich your day.

I was lost trying to find it at first, but don't worry. When you drive through the entrance, go straight forward and you will see blue Broward College signs that lead you to the student parking lot. They have fast and free Wi-Fi but is only accessible to active students. You'll need to know your student email (username@broward.edu) to log in. The student lounge is located on the second floor, where most of the classes are held. When you get there, you will see four tables, four Lenovo computers, a balcony, and five vending machines (school supplies, snacks, soda, coffee, and ice cream). It's a nice little area to chill and get some work done. This campus may seem deserted and dull since most of the extracurricular activities and educational services have moved over to the Broward College - Miramar West Center, but it's still an excellent way for college and dual enrollment students to start their journey.

Parking was spacious and staff were friendly. The library was large and organized. There are many events, just check out the website for details. There are study rooms, youth service program room, and meeting room. There are large collections of foreign print materials, CDs, and film. There plenty of reading materials; I love their paperless books via the Libby app. We specifically went there for the children's section which is on the smaller side. There was a small Lego set and some chairs. They offer many baby and toddler programs. Overall, a great library with many resources for people from all walks of life.

The City of Sunrise is the first city in South Florida to install Little Free Libraries in its…read moremunicipality. This one was installed back in February 2013 as part of a service learning project by students in the Sunrise Leadership Academy. The Little Free Library movement started in Wisconsin in 2009. By installing little bookshelves in communities, the "librarians" hope to promote literacy and the love of reading, as well as a sense of neighborhood, by building free book exchanges worldwide. The concept is "Take a Book, Leave a Book." You are welcome to drop off your gently used books, and to help yourself to anything that catches your fancy. It's a library with no late fee! This one, built right by the playground in the park, is in a great location. I can imagine parents and children checking out the books, after an energetic hour in the playground. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of usage though. Most of the time I pass by the library (repurposed from a newspaper stand) is rather empty. Hopefully more people will discover and use this little gem!

This one is right outside the office of the park, in the form of a repurposed newspaper stand colorfully painted (by students, I believe). Honestly, who visits the office when they go to the park, except maybe to reserve a pavilion or something? Nonetheless, it has a nice view, overlooking the playground and the pond. So if you ever come to this park, stop by to drop off or pick up a book or two.
