The collection is large and diverse reflecting a vibrant, international population, with materials for all ages in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Hebrew and Russian. The lobby has terrazzo floor design that gives visitors the illusion of traversing the Everglades under a ceiling that shows the sky from an alligator’s underwater perspective. It is a joint use public library/high school media center created by Broward County and the City of Pembroke Pines, becoming the first partnership of its kind in South Florida.
