First of all, I read some of the negative reviews. Apparently people are not aware what a PUBLIC…read morelibrary is and what services is provided. I commend the librarians for their patience dealing with all types of populations. They are very professional no matter who they deal with. They have no right to kick somebody out just because they are obviously homeless. They do politely ask people to follow the rules. I see them clean after rude people and pick up trash. The library is kep clean. This library is due for a face lift. Especially the study rooms who do not have proper A/C and ventilation. Parking is limited but there is a path to the plaza next door for additional parking and parking on the other side of Imperial Point Drive. It is different than the big spacious libraries out west and that is why I am so grateful to the librarians that do the best they can with this old building.

It has been a very long time since I visited this branch and nothing much has changed. The parking area was still small with limited spaces. You have the option to enter the library using the elevator or stairs. The interior of the library remained spacious, quiet, and organized offering audio books, books, DVDs and CDs to check out. The few staff members that were there was helpful and friendly. I was able able to use the computer for 60 minutes and printed a couple of offers from my email account.

It is an independent branch, so you have to get a library card with with branch rather than using a Broward County Library system. It's easy to get a card though, you just need your ID. There is free street parking to the west of the library and also a few shared spaces with the church next to the library. The book drop box is in the church parking lot which is just east of the library. For overdue items they only accept cash or check. The selection isn't huge because it is a small branch, but they do have a variety and also a lot of LGBTQ+ labeled books. They advertise local events and have a monthly book club. I haven't joined, but it looks fun!

In a city having a population of only 11, 843 you can't expect a huge lavish research library, but…read morewhat you can expect and what this library does have is a splendid up to date, quiet, well appointed, super friendly easy going atmosphere about it. For its size it is about as complete as library can get and one offering far more services than most libraries of equivalent size. Also, since the City of Wilton Manors is one of the most socially and ethnically diverse cities in the world (yes, I do mean in the "world") you'll find that the library staff is accustomed to dealing with special needs and at that they do a superlative job; much better than many larger libraries.

They said they will be moving again to the other location in the next few years. It was such a quiet lovely homey feeling library. How libraries should be. We didn't run into homeless people, loud people, or annoying polls/surgery people standing up in the front like most libraries (Broward Blvd and Pine Island Library). This library is NOT situated with Broward County Libraries. It is only for Plantation residents. They have a great selection for young readers, babies, kids, teens and young adults. I did NOT have a chance to go searching for books for myself. Next time for sure.

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.

Parking was spacious and staff were friendly. The library was large and organized. There are many events, just check out the website for details. There are study rooms, youth service program room, and meeting room. There are large collections of foreign print materials, CDs, and film. There plenty of reading materials; I love their paperless books via the Libby app. We specifically went there for the children's section which is on the smaller side. There was a small Lego set and some chairs. They offer many baby and toddler programs. Overall, a great library with many resources for people from all walks of life.

Occasionally a book will come out and I can only get the hard copy, when that happens I come to this branch. The library was closed for a few months for some remodeling, but I didn't notice any huge changes when I visited today. This business is located amongst a couple of other city of Sunrise government businesses. The library has a dated look, but seems to be otherwise clean and kept up. There are a couple of sections with some comfier chairs. The library was fairly quiet when I quickly visited mid-day. When we lived in Northern California our library was a popular hangout for the homeless population, but this place was much emptier. They do have some computers available for public use. You can also pay to have some Items printed. There is a sizable section of DVDs to rent. They also have a couple of quiet study rooms, some magazines and a new book section. I recommend going online and reserving your books ahead of time. It's free to use the library, so I can't really complain too much.

I stopped by the Tamarac branch library to pick up a dvd I had placed on hold. The dvd could have…read morebeen sent to a library branch closest to me, but I didn't mind the drive. It was a very large space with many organized shelves displaying a vast genre of books, dvds, cds, and audio books. There were plenty of computers, seats, and table seating throughout, which gave it a functional feel. If you want more privacy, you can request a quiet room. After picking up the dvd from the hold section, I walked around and chose a few more movies to watch. I wish I could borrow some cds, but my vehicle is not equipped with a cd player. Oh how I miss those good old days. Venturing to other Broward County libraries are interesting. Despite the world's shift toward digitalization, it is appreciated that the libraries are still offering their resources to the community.

I'm not crazy and my memory serves me right! Not only have I reviewed my neighborhood library, but…read moreI have posted wonderful photos too. This is the closest library to home and we have come here for nearly two decades. They have made great strides at keeping it clean inside and out. The books (including a Spanish language collection), reading materials and DVD selection is well organized. In addition to the 100-seat room for meetings, they have a computer room for adults with space for a couple dozen people. Years ago, I spent many hours there and it was quiet enough that you could flow in your thoughts to write. Moreover, they've added computers so more children can work on iReady and play educational games. There isn't a time I've walked in here that there aren't a number of tutors helping children and adults alike. The staff is helpful and there is a guard who assists them, which is an added bonus in the afternoons when the students from the nearby Middle/High School start coming in. In addition to the parking spaces in the front (facing Commercial Blvd.), there is parking in the side and rear of the lake that divides the library from the Tamarac Community Center. Following are their hours of operation: Monday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday: CLOSED

There is an active book fair that had a large adult section of donated books for sale at $1 - $2. The librarian was very sweet. A food and clothing donation bins are at the front counter. Got an application for a FREE library card with proof of ID in Broward County. Parking was not an issue.

When it was built, Young at Art Museum set the tone for this being a place for families to explore and learn. Then it changed to a library that seems to cater to teens and younger with the large area for all young people with magazines and computers to puzzles and a little play area with Legos for the littlest non readers. This building is quite large with multiple areas that are not fully utilized. There is some programming that can be booked online through the Broward County library system and there are rooms that can be rented out for meetings and after hour functions. The oitside spaces are also very nice although I believe it is slated to be renovated and turned into a different functional space. The staff seemed friendly and eager to assist. The Library was clean and very quiet and the parking lot was very easy to find parking. They even have some covered free parking and electric vehicle charges for the public.

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.
