This was my first time at the Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Library. I was actually referred here because…read moreI needed to scan a document and their scanner was in good working condition. When you come to this library, you have to park in the parking garage reserved for library patrons and city hall officials. Once I walked in I could see the whole layout of the library, so it's small and compact just like Carver Ranches Library, but this location was much more comfortable. I also saw a familiar face at the information/check-out desk that used to work at the Hallandale Beach Branch Library. There are adequate seating throughout the library where you can relax and charge your electronic device. There's a large selection of books of various genres, audio books, CDs, magazines, newspapers, DVDs, and reserved computers. The children's area is in the back of the library with a few reserved computers. I didn't stay long, but I assume the staff are helpful and nice. I did notice that they have some interesting book selections so I will definitely come back on my off day and check them out.

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

The staff was incredible. I felt welcomed and comfortable from the time I stepped in. Everyone had a friendly smile. I was offered help but various employees. They were knowledgeable.

There was not enough parking spots.

The only thing you would have to worry about is the $1.00 fine they charge each day for each item that is overdue. I like the fact with having a library account, I can go on the website and check out any new book, CD, and DVD release. If the Hollywood branch does not have the item I want, I can put the item on hold and if there's a copy of that item available at any other Broward library, it will be sent to the library of my choice for pickup. There is no limit on the amount of books or CD's to borrow (2-3 weeks), but if you want to borrow DVD's, the limit is 10 (1 week). Besides borrowing books, CD's, and DVD's, the library also provides bus passes, faxes, copying and printing (15 cents each). They have four sections of computers for adults, teens, and young children. You have to first reserve a computer, which gives you a 60 minute session. You can only reserve a computer twice, which sucks cause I normally spend more than two hours on the internet. If you're smart, you'll walk in with your laptop and use the library's free Wi-Fi. There are also four 15 minute computers that needs no reservation for people who want to go on the internet for minor, quick things like check their email, a quick tweet, print, or download, or just check their facebook page. The noise level in the facility is usually quiet until after 2pm. That's when the school children arrives and then it becomes noisy. The staff are very friendly and are willing to answer any questions you have. It's like my little sanctuary away from home.

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.

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.

The Dania Beach Women's Club was organized July 18, 1923. Women's Clubs were a place for social and…read moreliterary gatherings. Over time it became a way women could push social reform and exert social and political influence when women were expected to be home makers. Early projects in the club's history included sponsoring a girl scout troop, maintaining a cemetery and Federal Highway, and supervising activities in the town's community club. In 1928 the club began fundraising for a library. Dania Builder John Anderson was hired to build the wood frame vernacular library in the corner of a city park in 1935 at a cost of $1,000. In 1950 an adjoining meeting hall was added to the building. In the 1970's the Broward County Library began operating on a county wide system and the Women's Club Library was closed in 1978. Since then the building has been used for storage and meetings.
