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 people that work here are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to the new books, old books and where to find virtually any of the books on the racks! This library is always so clean and they always have a nice amount of copies of new releases so I don't need to be put on a waitlist to check the book out. I love that the library is two floors and the second floor is always so nice and quiet. The bathrooms here on both floors are always very clean as well and the tables are nicely spaced out in the library so I don't feel like I am ever hovering over other patrons while I am here! They have a friends of the library where you can buy second hand books and the deals they have on them are wonderful. I usually end up walking out with a stack of books way too high, for less than ten dollars. The best part is the money goes directly towards the library and helping run events that are open to the general public!

When it was built, Young at Art Museum set the tone for this being a place for families to explore and learn. Then it changed to a library that seems to cater to teens and younger with the large area for all young people with magazines and computers to puzzles and a little play area with Legos for the littlest non readers. This building is quite large with multiple areas that are not fully utilized. There is some programming that can be booked online through the Broward County library system and there are rooms that can be rented out for meetings and after hour functions. The oitside spaces are also very nice although I believe it is slated to be renovated and turned into a different functional space. The staff seemed friendly and eager to assist. The Library was clean and very quiet and the parking lot was very easy to find parking. They even have some covered free parking and electric vehicle charges for the public.

I don't have to get out of my car to return materials and I love the convenience of that.

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.

Occasionally a book will come out and I can only get the hard copy, when that happens I come to this branch. The library was closed for a few months for some remodeling, but I didn't notice any huge changes when I visited today. This business is located amongst a couple of other city of Sunrise government businesses. The library has a dated look, but seems to be otherwise clean and kept up. There are a couple of sections with some comfier chairs. The library was fairly quiet when I quickly visited mid-day. When we lived in Northern California our library was a popular hangout for the homeless population, but this place was much emptier. They do have some computers available for public use. You can also pay to have some Items printed. There is a sizable section of DVDs to rent. They also have a couple of quiet study rooms, some magazines and a new book section. I recommend going online and reserving your books ahead of time. It's free to use the library, so I can't really complain too much.

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 space, study rooms, and availability of resources were unmatched then, and they still are today! On this particular visit, we came for an NSU Children's Day event hosted by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. This free event featured over 100 vendors and showcased many of the programs NSU offers. Kids could learn the basics of first aid, dental care, and healthy eating while also enjoying movement games, entertainment, and so much more! There was free food, prizes, and plenty of vendors offering helpful resources for children and young adults up to age 25. The event was very well organized, and this library was the perfect venue! Activities took place both indoors and outdoors, using only the first two floors. This meant floors three through five remained available for regular library activities and those looking for a quiet place to study. I thought that was a great way to accommodate such a large event while still allowing the library to serve its usual visitors. The building itself is beautiful, and there's a dedicated children's area on the first floor that also hosts smaller events, including story times and other activities. They have a schedule of upcoming events on their website, so it's worth checking out what's happening before your visit. You can also fill out the application for a library card on-site, and they have an app for e-book rentals, too! Parking is plentiful in their garage, which typically has a small fee. However, parking was free for this particular event, which was a nice bonus! I've been coming here for years, from my college days to now, and I look forward to continuing to visit for many years to come. Whether you're looking for a great place to study, resources for the family, or community events, this library has so much to offer!

As the times changed, so did my library habits, but libraries, including this Broward County Library branch in Margate, is just as useful as ever. Okay, so honestly I came to get a new card so I could connect it online to get audiobooks. I wasn't planning on checking books out, but that being said, since I had to go inside to get the card, I figured I might as well look around. The librarian who helped me get a new card was very pleasant. A library card is $1.50 (CASH ONLY). The library is on the smaller side, but still effective. A large variety of magazines, DVD's, CD's, a few computers to use, a copy machine, and all your typical selections of books in the dewey decimal system, which to be clear, I'm not sure is in use anymore. I was pleasantly surprised as to how many people were inside which kind of warmed my heart; knowing there is still a need for libraries is a great thing. It may not be the biggest or brightest library, a little outdated, yes, but still a great library none-the-less.
