The staff are polite, helpful, and welcoming, which I really appreciated. That said, because it's a public library in the Florida City area, you do need to stay aware of your surroundings. There can be a mix of people coming in and out, including some individuals who may make you feel a bit uncomfortable at times. What concerned me most, though, was my experience with security. I went into the restroom to change and breastfeed my 6-month-old daughter, and the security guard repeatedly knocked on the door in a way that felt excessive and made me extremely uncomfortable. As a mother trying to care for my baby, that situation felt inappropriate and unsettling. Overall, the facility and staff are great, but I hope management addresses situations like this so families can feel fully safe and comfortable while visiting.

I visited the Cyberarium expecting a modern library experience. While it does offer tech perks like…read morelaptop access, I was really let down by the book selection--none of the six titles I was looking for were available. It feels more like a tech hub than a true library. Also, parking is a hassle. There's a paid garage, but the entrance to the Cyberarium is on the opposite end of the building, and there's no direct access from the garage to the library itself. Not very user-friendly, especially if you're carrying things or dealing with bad weather

This library has a good selection in books, is not like other very fancy libraries I have been to,…read morebut it looks clean, nice, neat, and most of it QUIET. It also has the kids corner with nice books for a wide range of ages, and they also have days where they read to the kids and play story time with the book they read. The staff members are more than friendly, and accommodating, you really feel welcomed in here, they try to help you with your requests as much as they can. This location has the computer area but it seems to be busy all the time (which is ok if you bring your own), internet is not as fast but I rather being here than in a Starbucks where the noise is just horrible and the coffee is expensive, or at home where my toddler won't let me finish homework lol. This library is going to be my best friend on my last two classes of the masters

It also has another department for young people and adults where they can read or spend some time in spiritual relaxation or just get away from the noise of the city and its stressful traffic. The people who work in this bookstore are also very friendly and helpful.

Not only do they have free EV chargers in their parking lot but the staff is friendly and welcoming. The most memorable item for me was "the book club in a bag!". This was right near the front of the library'. They had 10 books that were housed in a nice canvas bag! I wish I lived closer - I would have totally started a summer book club!

The library is very nice and modern on the inside (I think some of the photos on this page are old…read morephotos before a recent remodel). The WiFi is reasonably fast, but also by no means the best I've experienced. This library was a great air conditioned spot for me to stop on with my laptop and do some remote work while I was on a trip down in Marathon. I would definitely recommend it as there are not many public places with internet access in the area. As far as the books they have a pretty good selection! Including some interesting biographies on the shelves. I will admit I did not do a ton of reading on this trip though.

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 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.

Lots of mixed feelings about this place…read more Plenty of computers and floor space but oddly not enough tables and chairs. The study rooms are like freezers but midday on the second floor is an oven. Plenty of printers but the wifi is spotty. Recently the management changed study room policy greatly limiting the flexibility of group work- resulting in mostly empty rooms as opposed to the constant battle for them. The stacks are quiet but have terrible ambience and even more terrible internet connectivity. It can get a bit creepy at night as desperate study spot vultures circle the shelves behind you. Accidentally taking the elevator down to the M level is also reminiscent of a potential horror movie scenario with its locked cage gates and dimly lit narrow aisles. Nonetheless, the place is open 24/7 during finals and is a reliable place to surround yourself with people doing mildly academic things. You'll at least feel a little less guilty about not studying after sitting here for half the day. Try the music library or the law library for a better library experience. If you're just here to get books, Richter is just as good as any other. At the end of the day, Richter is a University Library which could be a lot worse and has a fair number of amenities, and at least- does it's job passably. More like a 3.5 but I'll round to 4 for effort!

This is a review for their banh mi. I love the idea of having a banh mi and boba shop where you can…read moreorder and then browse books while waiting. I was happily surprised at the authenticity of the "OG viet deli" option. It came with ingredients like cha lua and head cheese. I also love pate and this sandwich was absolutely packed with it. It was finally topped with tiny red chillis instead of the jalapenos I usually see in the US which I prefer since the pack a spicy punch. Though the sandwich was definitely not as spicy as I'm used to. The bread is also way thicker than I'm used to but it was fresh. I could not eat it until a while later and yet because it was all cold cuts, the sandwich was still quite good. Overall very well put together and service was friendly. My one qualm is that it is way more expensive for banh mi than I'm used to so this would be more of a place to go if I wanted to treat myself.

I had the Vietnamese iced coffee, and it was really good--smooth, bold, and refreshing.

Fresh ingredients, great sauces, and definitely a spot worth checking out.

This is one of the closest branches and the building is relatively new. We also found the staff to be nice as well. One thing that was a bit of a letdown is that the library is pretty small and the kids section is tiny. There is a small play area with the books, but it is very bare bones. It is not very inviting, hey come and read some books and play with the kids, make an afternoon of it vibe.

I was looking forward to coming and taking a look at their art book collection. It's unfortunate the amount of homeless people that have taken over the entire library. Every single table is taken, making it difficult to find a place to sit and look through your options in books before you check out. I completely understand the position they are in but the rest of the public has a difficult time enjoying its resources. One of them threw his "laptop" on the ground when I sat at his table. For the sake of my safety, I decided to get up and move. Overall, the staff is available, parking in the garage is validated and it's easy to get to. Unfortunately I won't be coming back :(
