Take Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books-A-Million, add events and a café, put it all together and you’ll create Books and Books — the newest addition to the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.
The museum and NSU have partnered with Books and Books to bring this famous store to the NSU community and downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Books and Books has locations in Coral Gables, Miami and Bal Harbour, and now, with this new location in Ft. Lauderdale, it’s only a 20-minute drive from the Don Taft UC.
Books and Books is a bookstore that’s bringing a little book-lovin’ to the area. The store will host readings, demonstrations, and author events, making it more than just a bookstore. It’s a place to read, learn and interact.
Past guests include author Allen Ginsberg, President Bill Clinton and comedian Chelsea Handler.
This new addition to the mu-seum will not only satisfy the bookworm inside you, but your appetite as well. A café located in the museum adds to the pleasure of books and art surrounding you. You can choose from sandwiches, salads and desserts prepared daily by Chef Allen Susser, owner of Chef Allen’s Modern Seafood Grill in Aventura.
Entrance into the museum and bookstore is free for NSU students so grab your friends and drive over to Books and Books. Stop by when you’re hungry, when you want to pick up a book before you hit the beach or just to lounge in unique scenery.
