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.

The people that work here are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to the new books, old books and where to find virtually any of the books on the racks! This library is always so clean and they always have a nice amount of copies of new releases so I don't need to be put on a waitlist to check the book out. I love that the library is two floors and the second floor is always so nice and quiet. The bathrooms here on both floors are always very clean as well and the tables are nicely spaced out in the library so I don't feel like I am ever hovering over other patrons while I am here! They have a friends of the library where you can buy second hand books and the deals they have on them are wonderful. I usually end up walking out with a stack of books way too high, for less than ten dollars. The best part is the money goes directly towards the library and helping run events that are open to the general public!

Walking inside feels like discovering a hidden little world of books. I will say, I expected it to be much bigger based on photos I had seen. There's definitely more to see upwards than around, with books stacked and shelved high throughout the space. It's pretty tight inside, so I can imagine it getting a little crowded when there are a lot of people. And then there's the big fluffy resident cat, who pretty much seems to own the place and just adds another layer of charm to the whole experience. Honestly, what more could you want from a whimsical little bookshop? Definitely worth making a little trip to check out. It's quirky, charming, unexpected, and feels like a little hidden treasure.

The only caveat is that there is some dusty areas so take your allergy meds before coming. They have LOTS of books, some new, some used, some rare, some common. They also have vintage wall art. However, this book shop is NOT the shop to grab a book and read in the corner, nor the kind of shop to sit and do work. It is VERY cramped, especially on busy days. I've also noticed some books are pretty steep in price. Come here for the bookish vibes and the Instagram-worthy floor-to-ceiling shelves of books! Just don't expect it to be cozy or functional as a library or B&N.

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!
