Beautiful library located close to Aventura Mall. We stopped by here after lunch at Eataly…read more My fellow Yelper Shula R. mentioned this library got a complete makeover. It's a gorgeous library with a very clean and modern vibe. It's only one level and has more tables and chairs for sitting and study areas than they have books. Haha. Regardless, it's a beautiful space with tons of natural lighting and super spacious. There is a children's book area all the way in the back of the library too. The librarians here are very nice and helpful. I snagged two books from the small book sale area in the corner upon entry. Cost is $2 for hardcovers and $1 for paperbacks. Please keep in mind they only accept cash.

Para confirmar y no darnos el viaje por gusto, llamamos por teléfono y nos atendió Paul, con mucha paciencia y amabilidad nos informó que el libro estaba en hold pero iba a averiguar si encontraba otra copia. La llamada se cortó y Paul nos llamó de vuelta para informarnos que estaba en una lista de espera. Paul me ayudó y me sugirió a bajar la copia online. Excellent service! I live in Kendall and was looking for a book that the system indicated was available only at this location. To confirm--and avoid making the trip for nothing--we called ahead and were assisted by Paul. With great patience and kindness, he informed us that the book was currently on hold, but offered to check if he could locate another copy. The call got disconnected, but Paul called us right back to let us know that the book was on a waiting list. Paul was very helpful and suggested that I download the online version instead.

Hi All, this place is very nice except for some people who gets too loud at times! However, I do…read morefeel some people don't get the concept of being pin drop silent at a library. I was on a look out for a quiet place where I could work with better internet connectivity. Unfortunately this is second such spot where it was difficult to find an internet connection expect for a hard two bar connection. Later, I realised that it had to do with my laptop which was quite old and had just 2.5 ghz of wifi connectivity. Whereas, nowadays it's all about 5 ghz. So, my bad! I would definitely recommend this place and do not go for the sign boards at the parking as anyone wishing to spend time at this library has the privilege to park your vehicle for free of cost. This library is well arranged as all the furniture's are aesthetically placed based on user requirements. They do have small kiosks for working or studying in groups too. The library management system in this country is thumbs up!

The staff, especially the lady at the front desk, is always extremely rude. When I asked about…read moremuseum passes, she was dismissive like I was inconveniencing her. When I had follow up questions, she responded condescendingly, as if I should already know. The other lady I interacted with also at the front desk I guess wasn't as rude but just seemed bothered with my son. He was next to me just looking around and sort of walking, not making any noise or even speaking she quickly told him to stay still because this wasn't a place to walk? I've also been for the children's programs they have two, one on Mondays for smaller children up until three years old and then they have one on Wednesdays for children three till five I believe. The one on Wednesday was terrible they put the children in a tiny room with barely any space and all they do is give them a piece of paper to color and that's pretty much it. The gentleman who was in charge was very kind though, complete opposite from the staff upfront. I'll never understand why people who hate customer service decide to work at front desks...

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.

I like coming here. It is a cozy little library that you can come and enjoy the many small events…read morethat they have here. The selection is small in the library itself but I reserve the book from the online catalog and order them to the library for pick up.

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. They point me right to the area I needed to be. The parking was a little complicated. The library shares parking with the other city buildings. Everyone parks all around. There was not enough parking spots.

A friend of mine invited me to a children's event hosted at this library - I am always interested…read morein FREE activities to take my LO to, so I immediately accepted the invitation. When I looked at the address, I had no idea that there was a public library so close to my house! The last time I went to the library was in Hollywood Circle- and while it is not that far from my house, this one is much closer, it is easier to get to, and has more available parking. This library is a hidden gem - it is off Stirling road, and not easily visible from the street. When you turn into the library from the road, you take a short drive along a winding road to reach the parking area. The front of the library has an overhang which is perfect for dropping off books in the rain! Or of course if you are travelling with anyone old or young in the rain. When you first walk into the building- on the left side are meeting rooms- this is where the event was held. There was plenty of room and seating inside the room. I've never been inside a meeting room at a public library, and this was a very pleasant experience. The presentation was wonderful and my little one really enjoyed the hour. After the event was over, I decided that to take a look around the library- I was there anyway. The library is beautifully decorated. It is small, but utilizes every bit of space efficiently. The children's section is AMAZING! There are tons and tons of books all over the place. The space is clean, bright, and is equipped with age appropriate toys and activities as well. There are also computers available for use for homework or research, as well as a room exclusively dedicated to teens. The couches and tables are comfortable and spaced out. The adult section begins with books on tape, and DVDs. I didn't get to take a look at the adult's section of books because I got caught up looking for some audio books to take on our family road trip. They have quite a wide selection of audio books- and I easily chose 3 for the ride. I'm really glad I found out about this library!

GAME CHANGER. I know this may sound harsh, but if you aren't using your local library's digital…read moreresources, you are a DUNDERHEAD! And I know this because until quite recently, I was a fourth degree dunderhead myself. You see, I buy e-books from Amazon to download on a Kindle, pay for a Netflix subscription, occasionally download an audiobook from audible.com, and every now and then buy a magazine for a beach day. What a fool I've been! All these services are available free of charge from my local library. I've been Amazon "one-clicking" away so much cash I should have been saving instead! I was reading on my Kindle last Saturday and was about to pull the trigger on a new book, but I paused with my finger over the button, "$12.99 for a popular book written more than 10 years ago? No, I can pick this up at the library later." So, I popped into North Miami Public Library that very afternoon. It had been so long since my last visit that my card needed to be updated. It was a quick process with no line and no waiting. The librarian was super kind and knowledgeable. She handed over the brochure in the attached photo and explained access to free e-books, audiobooks, streaming video, and magazines using apps on the phone or tablet and my library card number. On the way home, I had to stop for an errand and was confronted by a long line. I passed the time by pulling out the brochure and library card. By the time it was my turn at checkout, I had downloaded the "over drive" app and borrowed my first free e-book. A snap! So, DON'T BE A DUNDERHEAD. Stop paying for things that are available to you at your lovely local library. Stop in today!
