    Alvin Sherman Library - Mad cool library system where you can press a button and move the shelves. What a smart space saver.

There are several floors of seating. The library itself is pretty quiet but gets louder throughout the day so I like to go in the morning. They have a pay by phone parking lot just a few blocks away.

    Absolutely beautiful library. This is a massive private university library located on campus at…read moreNova Southwestern University in Davie. 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.

    A stunning but insanely small bookstore that you can get lost in for a nice amount of time. 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!

    So a friend of mine mentioned this bookstore as a must go visit and it was so badass! Tucked away…read morein a small strip mall in the corner is this small place full of books and books wall to wall. What an eclectic place of comfort and reflection as soothing music is played. Here you'll find William store owner and his cat (Tim?) Both low key and pleasant. It took awhile I did find a book which all books have the price on the first white page. Oh also he has other items for sale such as foreign currency and old post cards. What a nice spot. And a little bonus it's just across the street per se to other places like My Big Fat Greek weeding or The Field Irish pub! Well worth the drive to this bookstore. Lastly one of his clients took a photo of him with his cat and it's a great print job of it

    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.

The layout of each corner of the library really caters to each group, with the entire upstairs being nice and quiet for adults. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. We had a ball at the ArtLit festival today - West African drums & dancing, green screen photo shoot, flower painting, giant alligator characters, Everglades improv show, food trucks, small business tents. All the volunteers were so friendly, found out about so many community, and enjoyed all the activities and booths. Can't wait for next year when baby is older and can enjoy even more. The miniature railroad display put on a couple weeks ago, was so impressive. Highly recommend keeping a pulse on all their events.

    2020 Honors grad here. While I agree with other reviews on admissions staff being incompetent, the…read morecollege overall was great. Most of, if not all, my professors were from FAU, NOVA & University of Miami. In fact, my MGF1106 class was the exact same that the professor taught to his class at FIU. I paid $117 per credit hour though. What a steal. All my credits transferred to FAU and I currently have a 3.8 GPA at Florida Atlantic University. Getting my AA at Broward really prepared me for the 3000/4000 level classes at university. Pro tips: meet with your advisor often and do not be above using "word count memes" for real! 3000 word minimum? Change that "also" to "in addition to." Change "This suggests" to "Therefore elucidating the impression that." Sprinkle that in like Salt Bea! Huge thanks to the math lab for helping me get a B+ in STA2023. Gracias Marta for tutoring me in Spanish! Getting an A+ in a 4 credit hour class meant so much to me! "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Senior year at FAU this fall, here I come!

    This college needs to be investigated ASAP!! I don't even know how their programs are thriving or…read morethe student enrollment is even a thing here. Because the amount of back & forth I experienced before hand is ridiculous. Acting like my transcript has germs on it and making me send it over & over again because "I have a class in progress" which simply means I just needed to pay for it and acting like their so incompetent to understanding made me even more mad. A whole year has passed and I got accepted at 3 other Florida colleges. They evaluated my transcripts, did my aid package, and set me up for orientation to understand the platforms to do my work. Y'all need to do better because this college is backwards!! Please report them to the BBB (Better business bureau) and flor department of education.
