Located on the corner of Sample and University, this regional library is fairly quiet and large but…read moreseemed to have a lot of open space, rather than space filled with books. They have a decent sized, nicely organized Friends of the Library right outside the main the library and Debbie was a pleasure to talk books with there. They also have a small Friends of the library section inside the main library. Outside are a few drive up drop boxes to return books. There are also some nice monument/memorials outside the entrance.

The 72,000 square foot Northwest Regional Library next door to Coral Springs Charter School opened…read moreon Feb. 15, 2001 replacing the much smaller branch library at 10077 NW 29th St built in 1982. The library was built to service the needs of the northwest area of Broward County. This library and the Southwest Regional Library in Pembroke Pines were built from a 139.9 million dollar bond approved in March of 19999. This library not only services Coral Springs residents but those who live in Margate, Tamarac, and Sunrise as well. The two-story Northwest Regional Library includes a 300-seat auditorium, computer technology room with over 100 computers, a teen activity room, a storytelling room in the children's section, tutoring rooms, small study rooms and conference rooms in the adult section. The children's and adults' sections are on two different floors. Featured outside the library is a 9/11 Memorial and a Martin Luther King, Jr monument. I love the Broward County Library system because there is so much to explore. The library collection includes best sellers, adult fiction, DVD's, audiobooks and CD's. It also has digital devices available for loan including Veterans HotSpots and children's Playaway LaunchPads. Its collection includes International language materials in Spanish, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Hebrew and Russian. The programs for children, teens, and adults are excellent here. They offer author talks nd educational workshops for all ages. You can join a book club, take a computer class, or watch a movie. Stop in to check out all the great things you can do here. If you haven't been to a library in awhile you might be surprised by how much they offer. Libraries foster a sense of community with their extensive collections, commitment to technology, and diverse range of programs. This library is a cultural hub for the community. Whether you're a seasoned reader, a technology enthusiast, or a parent looking to instill a love of reading in your child, the Northwest Regional Library is a must-visit destination.

I like that it has two levels so if it's loud in one area, I can hide out somewhere else. The staff has always been helpful if I need assistance, and the ceiling windows make it look extra clean and open. My favorite feature is the two drop off boxes in the parking lot. I don't have to get out of my car to return materials and I love the convenience of that.

It has a great kids area with many different scheduled activities throughout the year. There are also teen and adult events and programs.

The staff is very friendly and helpful -- they've assisted me several times. The library is clean, the books are in great condition, and there's a wide selection to choose from. The hours are especially convenient -- they're open until 8 PM every day, which makes it easy for parents to stop by after work with their kids and pick up everything they need for reading together.

I was between offices and needed a quiet place to work for several weeks. A few people suggested…read morethe library and I decided to take their advice. I love quiet time, so the library was the perfect solution. I haven't been to a library in decades so I was pleasantly surprised at how things have changed. There are several computer stations available to use at no cost. I work on a laptop so I didn't need to use them. I did use their scanner and printer a few times. Copies are just twenty five cents and there is no charge to use the scanner. There are plenty of seating areas scattered throughout the library and the chairs are very comfortable. I appreciated that each desk has it's own desk light. Individual study rooms are available and can be reserved in advance if necessary. A few times that I needed to hop on a call, I lucked out and found an empty room. They also have a conference room that can be reserved. The staff is great, and I found them to be very helpful. They are really nice too. The security guard stationed at the entrance is friendly. There is a monthly calendar that covers the events and classes for all Palm Beach County library locations. Just ask for a copy at the front desk. Plenty of parking right in front of the building.

As a kid I used to love coming to the library to check out books, magazines, and such. Back home,…read moreI'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.
