If you are going for the books or the computer center, don't miss the beautiful garden that has been planted outside. Many changes have been made to the library so don't discount it if you had had a previous less than pleasant visit. Library employees are very helpful and there is a good selection.

Located on East Sunrise Blvd., this is open late for students or for those wishing to use computers. It has been in this location for well over 50 years. A great source for points of interest for the tourist or locals.

Modern, attractive, expansive library in a convenient downtown location and easy parking in garage or on the street. On-site café with great food. Very helpful staff. Lots of lesser known amenities like books on tape, computer terminals and DVDs to borrow. Very pleasant way to spend a quiet day.

I'm not familiary with their lending collection ... I have closer branches that are marvelous. However Hollywood is not NYC or even London, and this beautiful structure has a wonderful variety of research collections.

You have to watch the times it's open. You can watch movies on the desktops, read hundreds of books and just spend a great time.

They have done a very nice job with this library. Three floors tall, with rooms for printing computer documents, Internet terminals everywhere, interesting museum preview collections (I liked the Apollo astronaut suit). The one problem is that the area's homeless have taken over the front lawn and sleep and lie about there all day and night, it feels unsafe, they... More

Everything you could want from a Library. They have it split into two levels. First level is for kids, second level for adults.
