It's a gorgeous library with a very clean and modern vibe. It's only one level and has more tables and chairs for sitting and study areas than they have books. Haha. Regardless, it's a beautiful space with tons of natural lighting and super spacious. There is a children's book area all the way in the back of the library too. The librarians here are very nice and helpful. I snagged two books from the small book sale area in the corner upon entry. Cost is $2 for hardcovers and $1 for paperbacks. Please keep in mind they only accept cash.

Para confirmar y no darnos el viaje por gusto, llamamos por teléfono y nos atendió Paul, con mucha paciencia y amabilidad nos informó que el libro estaba en hold pero iba a averiguar si encontraba otra copia. La llamada se cortó y Paul nos llamó de vuelta para informarnos que estaba en una lista de espera. Paul me ayudó y me sugirió a bajar la copia online. Excellent service! I live in Kendall and was looking for a book that the system indicated was available only at this location. To confirm--and avoid making the trip for nothing--we called ahead and were assisted by Paul. With great patience and kindness, he informed us that the book was currently on hold, but offered to check if he could locate another copy. The call got disconnected, but Paul called us right back to let us know that the book was on a waiting list. Paul was very helpful and suggested that I download the online version instead.

I was on a look out for a quiet place where I could work with better internet connectivity. Unfortunately this is second such spot where it was difficult to find an internet connection expect for a hard two bar connection. Later, I realised that it had to do with my laptop which was quite old and had just 2.5 ghz of wifi connectivity. Whereas, nowadays it's all about 5 ghz. So, my bad! I would definitely recommend this place and do not go for the sign boards at the parking as anyone wishing to spend time at this library has the privilege to park your vehicle for free of cost. This library is well arranged as all the furniture's are aesthetically placed based on user requirements. They do have small kiosks for working or studying in groups too. The library management system in this country is thumbs up!

The staff, especially the lady at the front desk, is always extremely rude. When I asked about…read moremuseum passes, she was dismissive like I was inconveniencing her. When I had follow up questions, she responded condescendingly, as if I should already know. The other lady I interacted with also at the front desk I guess wasn't as rude but just seemed bothered with my son. He was next to me just looking around and sort of walking, not making any noise or even speaking she quickly told him to stay still because this wasn't a place to walk? I've also been for the children's programs they have two, one on Mondays for smaller children up until three years old and then they have one on Wednesdays for children three till five I believe. The one on Wednesday was terrible they put the children in a tiny room with barely any space and all they do is give them a piece of paper to color and that's pretty much it. The gentleman who was in charge was very kind though, complete opposite from the staff upfront. I'll never understand why people who hate customer service decide to work at front desks...

The Miramar Branch Library is a sanctuary for book lovers and an institute of learning. Nestled in…read morea quiet corner of Miramar along a lake, this picturesque library is a haven for knowledge seekers. The Miramar Branch Library was born from a partnership between the City of Miramar, Broward County, Broward College, and Nova Southeastern University. It was conceived as a place in the Town Center where people could be educated and participate in a variety of programs. The library was completed in 2008 on a 4 acre parcel of land deeded by the City of Miramar. The ambiance of the library is welcoming and conducive to a peaceful reading and studying environment. The first floor library boasts a spacious and well-organized layout, making it easy to navigate through the extensive collection of books. The shelves are neatly arranged, and the variety of genres available caters to a diverse range of interests. The library collection includes 100,000 items. There is a multipurpose room that can host 100 people, tutoring rooms, study rooms, a conference room, 100 computer stations, wireless hot spots, a storytelling and program room, drive up book return, space for Friends of the Library, and public art by Robert Calvo. The second floor is used by Broward College and the third floor belongs to Nova Southeastern University. The librarians are knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to assist patrons in finding the right book or resource. Their passion for literature and commitment to promoting a love for reading is evident in their interactions. The Miramar Branch Library offers a plethora of resources beyond books, including a computer section with high-speed internet access, making it an excellent place for research and study. The comfortable seating areas provide a quiet space for reading or working on personal projects. One aspect that particularly impressed me was the library's commitment to community engagement. They regularly host events, book clubs, and educational programs for all age groups. These initiatives foster a sense of community and intellectual growth among the library's patrons. The Miramar Branch Library has adapted well to the digital age, offering e-books and online resources alongside its traditional collection. This forward-thinking approach ensures that patrons have access to a wealth of information in various formats. I love how this library fosters a love for literature, a commitment to education, and welcoming atmosphere making it a standout destination for bibliophiles and learners alike. I highly recommend a visit to this library for anyone seeking a quiet place to read, study, or simply immerse themselves in the world of knowledge.

I have been pleasantly surprised since my most recent experiences at our Miami Dade libraries have been a total nightmare. This location is CLEAN and friendly as soon as you walk in. The people enjoying all of its services are also pleasant. There are plenty of places to sit and study or simply enjoy a quiet space. I was coming for 311 animal services support, needed to renew a tag and they were extremely helpful and thorough. Because I cannot pass up the opportunity to hold a book in my hands, I browsed the bookshelves and walked away with 4 books! If I didn't have other errands to run, I would definitely hang around longer. A nice bonus (I also had no idea!) there's a lovely walking or running trail adjacent to the library. It's lovely. I'll def be back to enjoy that. Once this summer - rainy weather is behind us. lol! Come and enjoy this library, it's a treat and it's freeeee! Ps. They hold many free activities for everyone.

As both a bibliophile and an architourist, the Brockway Memorial Library is a real treat. It is one…read moreof the many architectural gems that gives Miami Shores its character. If your interests include books, architecture, or local history this library is well worth a visit. The Brockway Memorial Library was built in 1948 with a $50,000 gift from philanthropist George A. Brockway, a truck manufacturer from Cortland, New York. The land was donated by Bessemer Properties, the company that led the incorporation of the Village of Miami Shores in 1932. Designed by architect Edwin T. Reeder in a modern tropical Florida style, the building features a great room with high exposed-beam ceilings, wood-paneled alcoves, coral stone, and three limestone fireplaces. In recognition of its architectural and historical significance, the library received local historic designation in 2023. The library officially opened to the public in 1949 with a collection of 4,182 donated volumes under the leadership of librarian Helen O'Connell Borsch. Over the decades, it has expanded several times, in 1955, 1960, 1984, 2002, and most recently in 2023 to accommodate a collection that now exceeds 70,000 volumes. The interior was designed by Haygood Lasseter, who also worked on President Harry S. Truman's Little White House in Key West. One of the library's most notable directors was Elizabeth Esper, whose remarkable 45-year tenure helped shape the institution. Today, the library also houses the Miami Shores Archives, a historical research facility preserving photographs, documents, and public records dating back to 1925. In front of the library stands a blue historic marker that is part of Florida's Historical Marker Program, one of the Florida Division of Historical Resources' most recognizable public history initiatives. These markers commemorate significant people, places, and events throughout the state and can be found at historic buildings, schools, churches, colleges, cemeteries, archaeological sites, battlefields, and historic districts. Historical Marker F-1273 was installed in 2024 by the Miami Shores Historic Preservation Board and the Florida Department of State to honor this community landmark.
