When the 1st floor gets too noisy and the 2nd floor is packed head up to the stacks tower. Stacks is quiet and has room for individual study. Their CHC (Cuban Heritage Collection) is filled with valuable research material from the island of Cuba. The University Archives on the 8th floor has cool UM memorabilia. The Digital Collection has a lot of materials as well. Items from the library's archival departments are usually always on display. Private library, however $5 gets you in as a guest.

The standout here is the Cuban Heritage collection, which is open to the public and has an amazing collection of lots of artifacts from Cuban history. Everything from the original daiquiri recipe to copies of ration cards. The collection also partners with the Freedom Tower. A wonderful resource for the community.

What interesting architecture at Coral Gables Library! (1968, same age as me!) I cannot believe…read morethat I have been here 12 years and have never been before. Worthy of a visit if you are in the area. The building was built from native keystone, quarried in the Florida Keys, Honduran Mahogany doors, Spanish clay floor tiles, and wrought iron fixtures. The building's Spanish influence is apparent, conforming to Coral Gables' guidelines for the Mediterranean Revival style. The main reading room has 15-foot high ceilings with exposed wood beams. It was designed by Edward T. Rempe, AIA, and his associate, Wray G. Succop, AIA. The library's interior is a blend of Spanish and contemporary influence.

The Main Library in Miami Downtown is awesome and a boon to the city. Miami is such a wonderful and…read morediverse city that can be a bit overstimulating so washing the mind with good reads is what I was feeling and what I got. I love the aritcheture here. I was exploring and discovered Andy Warhol and Picasso originals on the walls which is awesome. The Special collection non-circulating books were on point including Vegetable Butcher aka plant based foodie guide for those getting handy in the kitchen. The book detailed various produce, pairings with it, heaps of details, seasonal, and knife skills and selection of produce. Very smart book. I loved the Keith Haring Coffee Table book. I have seen his originals in NYC and right in SF in a church and downtown. He is very dear to my heart. I also loved the smart selection of Art from Indian and Nepal over the centuries. So many cool things on the shelves. Friendly staff and again any library that has originals by some of my favorite artists is 5 stars in my book.

My second home since 2011! Librarians are super friendly,…read morehours are great (except for Sundays) and its usually very quiet so I get a lot accomplished. There are plenty of tables and computers, and just a few weeks ago the first and second floors got a facelift. The first floor alone has literally over 100 large screen desktops and comfy chairs. If you ever get tired or need a change of scenery there's a bustling Starbucks right by the entrance, in the same building. If I'm lacking motivation all I need to do is take a quick glance at the focused students and doctors around me and I'm set for 3 more hours.... and that is the best part of studying here!

Today i chose to eat in one of the non-quiet levels so i can get to know some of my peers. Loved it. I am looking forward to checking out the other floors. One thing that i really liked was the security. You are required to be an FIU student to enter as well as leave, there are small scanners to prove you were in and out of the library that say. I did find many workers standing around just scoping out the area, I am assuming to check out & watch everyone. Since it is my first semester here, I will obviously be back! :)
