Benefits
Students from the nearby Broward College and Florida Atlantic University campus have the ability to step away from the classroom setting while staying connected online for e-mails and research and enjoy outdoor vistas such as Bubier Park, and Las Olas Boulevard. Library patrons will have similar experiences with Internet connections available adjacent to the Downtown Main Library in Stranahan Park. Local residents and visitors can also stay “connected” to home and work while visiting two of Broward County’s popular restaurants and shopping spots – Las Olas Boulevard and the Old Himmarshee area of Fort Lauderdale.
Access is also provided in all County buildings located in the Broward Municipal Services District and in the Government Center in West Broward.
