BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Beginning June 1, 2020, all Broward County Libraries, with the exception of Galt Ocean Mile Reading Center and the Nova Southeastern University Alvin Sherman Library, will offer Walk-up/Drive-up Service. 

Walk-up/Drive-up Service lets customers pick up reserved library materials in a safe manner while Broward County Libraries remain closed to the public.Customers may reserve books, DVDs and other library materials using BCL’s online catalog or by calling their local library.

Library staff will be unable to provide customers with any materials that have not been reserved ahead of time. You must have a Broward County Library card to reserve library materials. Customers needing assistance are encouraged to call any library location.

The days/hours for Broward County Library Walk-up Service vary by location.
