So glad I got to check out this library. It really is a hidden gem especially for kids. I signed my…read moredaughter up for a story time here on Tuesday morning. This was a former museum (young at art) for kids and it then became a public library. It's cozy and quaint. A pretty big selection/area for kids and the adult selection is smaller. They have outdoor seating for studying or working and 2 private rooms available to use for a 2 hr span. What really won me over were the librarians. They are so helpful and attentive. April & Amanda were the best! I really hope the county puts more attention and effort to expanding this library because the space has so much potential. This library will definitely be one I frequent often.

They also offer several computers and reading rooms. It's also a great place to bring children. Along with books they have nice seating areas. They are open Monday to Friday 10 am to 6 pm. This location is also a vaccination place for the Department of Health.

Southwest Regional Library is located in the eastern portion of the 77-acre Academic Village, which…read morealso houses Pembroke Pines Charter School and Broward College Pines Center. Dedicated in 2000, it was the first library built with funds from the $139 million library bond issue approved by Broward County voters in 1999. This 78,000-square-foot, two-story library is a joint-use facility of the Broward County Library System and Pembroke Pines. It's open to the public while also serving as the school library for charter high school students. Broward College students have access to a computer lab on the first floor. The library's collection includes over 100,000 lending items for children and adults in multiple languages, including books and multimedia. Amenities include a teen activity room, children's storytime room, 300-seat auditorium, gift shop, classrooms, quiet study rooms, conference rooms, tutoring rooms, and a computer lab. Programs for all ages are offered regularly--details are available at the front desk or on the library's website. On my visit, there was a holiday model train exhibit. More recently they had a St. Patrick's Day photo op on the second floor and an Easter Peeps diorama contest. Broward County truly excels at libraries, and Southwest Regional is no exception. The space is large, clean, modern, and welcoming. The lobby floor features a terrazzo design that gives the illusion of the Everglades, while the ceiling shows the sky from an alligator's underwater perspective--a really fun touch. Whether you're studying, working remotely, or just browsing, there's plenty of room to spread out. Quiet areas are genuinely quiet, and community spaces feel relaxed and inviting. If you haven't visited a library in a while, Southwest Regional might surprise you with how much it can enrich your day.

This is my favorite library in Broward to bring my baby. When he was really young we would come to…read morethe classes and the librarians leading the classes are amazing. The layout of each corner of the library really caters to each group, with the entire upstairs being nice and quiet for adults. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. We had a ball at the ArtLit festival today - West African drums & dancing, green screen photo shoot, flower painting, giant alligator characters, Everglades improv show, food trucks, small business tents. All the volunteers were so friendly, found out about so many community, and enjoyed all the activities and booths. Can't wait for next year when baby is older and can enjoy even more. The miniature railroad display put on a couple weeks ago, was so impressive. Highly recommend keeping a pulse on all their events.

I was lost trying to find it at first, but don't worry. When you drive through the entrance, go straight forward and you will see blue Broward College signs that lead you to the student parking lot. They have fast and free Wi-Fi but is only accessible to active students. You'll need to know your student email (username@broward.edu) to log in. The student lounge is located on the second floor, where most of the classes are held. When you get there, you will see four tables, four Lenovo computers, a balcony, and five vending machines (school supplies, snacks, soda, coffee, and ice cream). It's a nice little area to chill and get some work done. This campus may seem deserted and dull since most of the extracurricular activities and educational services have moved over to the Broward College - Miramar West Center, but it's still an excellent way for college and dual enrollment students to start their journey.

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.

The City of Sunrise is the first city in South Florida to install Little Free Libraries in its…read moremunicipality. This one was installed back in February 2013 as part of a service learning project by students in the Sunrise Leadership Academy. The Little Free Library movement started in Wisconsin in 2009. By installing little bookshelves in communities, the "librarians" hope to promote literacy and the love of reading, as well as a sense of neighborhood, by building free book exchanges worldwide. The concept is "Take a Book, Leave a Book." You are welcome to drop off your gently used books, and to help yourself to anything that catches your fancy. It's a library with no late fee! This one, built right by the playground in the park, is in a great location. I can imagine parents and children checking out the books, after an energetic hour in the playground. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of usage though. Most of the time I pass by the library (repurposed from a newspaper stand) is rather empty. Hopefully more people will discover and use this little gem!

This one is right outside the office of the park, in the form of a repurposed newspaper stand colorfully painted (by students, I believe). Honestly, who visits the office when they go to the park, except maybe to reserve a pavilion or something? Nonetheless, it has a nice view, overlooking the playground and the pond. So if you ever come to this park, stop by to drop off or pick up a book or two.

If there was an option to put 0 stars, I would. One of the worst school you can put your child…read moreinto. The school overall looks nice and maintained but the kids are horrendous. Every kid always gets in trouble ending up with suspension, fights, and posting them fighting IN SCHOOL. Where is the security? The teachers?
