As a kid I used to love coming to the library to check out books, magazines, and such. Back home, I'm sure my library card is still on file, dusty, but still on file. As the times changed, so did my library habits, but libraries, including this Broward County Library branch in Margate, is just as useful as ever.
Okay, so honestly I came to get a new card so I could connect it online to get audiobooks. I wasn't planning on checking books out, but that being said, since I had to go inside to get the card, I figured I might as well look around.
The librarian who helped me get a new card was very pleasant. A library card is $1.50 (CASH ONLY).
The library is on the smaller side, but still effective. A large variety of magazines, DVD's, CD's, a few computers to use, a copy machine, and all your typical selections of books in the dewey decimal system, which to be clear, I'm not sure is in use anymore.
I was pleasantly surprised as to how many people were inside which kind of warmed my heart; knowing there is still a need for libraries is a great thing.
It may not be the biggest or brightest library, a little outdated, yes, but still a great library none-the-less. read more
