Sunrise Dan Pearl Library — Attraction in Sunrise

To be totally honest, I avoid going to the library and instead use Broward’s online system to get e-books.

Occasionally a book will come out and I can only get the hard copy, when that happens I come to this branch.

The library was closed for a few months for some remodeling, but I didn’t notice any huge changes when I visited today.

This business is located amongst a couple of other city of Sunrise government businesses.

The library has a dated look, but seems to be otherwise clean and kept up. There are a couple of sections with some comfier chairs.

The library was fairly quiet when I quickly visited mid-day. When we lived in Northern California our library was a popular hangout for the homeless population, but this place was much emptier.

They do have some computers available for public use. You can also pay to have some Items printed.

There is a sizable section of DVDs to rent.

Also the parking can be tricky. One time I went to pick up a book and could not find a parking space available anywhere. I mean there was not one open space. I was told the nearby buildings sometimes have events and it clogs up the library's parking lot. It...

This library is managed by Broward County but is located in the City of Sunrise Complex; the complex has the public safety building, city hall, senior center, and Civic center. 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...
