Visit Your CVE Clubhouse Library
Where is the CVE Library? It’s in the Clubhouse lower level across from the Billiard room, which is located on the shuffleboard courts side of the Clubhouse.
We are open Monday through Thursday 10 am to 2 pm. We will be closed on Wednesday, December 25th.
Happy Holidays to all.
If you have a CVE ID, come in and borrow one of our 5,000+ holdings, read the New York Times, or shop at our variety of boutique items for sale. If you cannot find the book, ask a Library volunteer to assist you. They will look the book up on our tablet. If we have the book, they will let you know where to find it on our shelves. We have two types of circulation.
Reserved Circulation contains our newest books, which are constantly arriving. Becoming a Friend of the Library for an annual $3 donation will allow you to borrow these new books. A Friend may also waitlist-reserve a book currently borrowed. Ask a Reservist how this works. Once interest in a new book diminishes it is placed in Regular Circulation. We have both regular print and large print books. Kindly look at the listings below for the new regular print books.
How do we obtain new books? The library has items available for a donation. Hand painted note cards, artwork, fashion items, etc. The donations from these items are used to purchase new books. Neither CenClub nor Master Management fund the purchase of new library books.
Have donations? The library gladly accepts artwork of any media, puzzles, boutique items, as well as fiction books written in the last 10 years, and non-fiction books in good condition. Your support and assistance, for the purchase of new books for the library, is greatly appreciated.
A convenient book drop box, to the left of the library entrance, is available for use when the library is closed to return and donate books.
Volunteers staff the library in 2-hour shifts for our Residents’ and Staff’s enjoyment. Would you consider helping to staff the library? Please leave contact information at the library, and CVE Library President, Ruth Schroeder, will contact you. If you are not contacted, please come in or call at (954) 481-2898.

Book Review
The Little Liar by Mitch Albom
This historical and powerful fiction is inspired by true events. It starts in a coastal Greek city during the Holocaust. It is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The main character, a young boy, Nico Krispis never told a lie, that is, until his home has been invaded and a general of the Nazi Army takes over his home. In order to survive he will be forced to lie. Nico becomes a pathological liar. His brother vows revenge. It is narrated by Truth itself, the four main characters, Nico, his older brother, Sebastian, family friend Fannie and the German officer, Udo Graf. Their lives intertwine to tales of horror, deceit during the worst times in our history. However tragic, it does inspire forgiveness. This is one of Mitch Albom’s most important novel up to date. It is one you will remember for a long time to come.
