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 sells items that have been donated. We have hand painted note cards, puzzles, artwork, jewelry and fashion items, etc. The funds we receive from these items are used to purchase new books. Neither CenClub nor Master Management fund the purchase of our 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.
Art sale will be 50% off continuing through the summer months. Come in and look at the beautiful art display. We have plenty of framed artwork to choose from.
A convenient book drop box, to the left of the library entrance, is available for use when the library is closed to return and/or 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.
**We would like to thank all who have contributed dry and canned goods to the needy in Broward County.
There is a contribution bin below the library Bulletin Board across from the Billiard Room. We will continue to accept your food contributions.

Book Review
Written by Lita Andreano
We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes
This a well written novel of the complexity of women and how they handle their trials and tribulations through life. The main character, Lila Kennedy, is a writer and just recently wrote a best seller on how to keep a marriage alive. All while her husband has a wandering eye for another woman. Yes, it is complicated but very interesting and intriguing. Jojo Moyes explores social mores, morality and the human interactions we all may come across at one time or another throughout our lives. The author is unique in showing us how to demonstrate empathy, honesty and humor. Her writing is flawless. Always a good read. You will definitely enjoy this book.
