"Library love"
I think I could live in this library... or maybe visit it every day... or just wish that I could because I actually live too far away! Let me just say again that I love this library!
The Children's Section was a dream to discover. An aquarium to greet you, books to walk through, very inviting tables and lights that just beg you to sit and read to your kids, and a large dinosaur skeleton to wow you in the center. Many more features may certainly distract youngsters but my 8 and 10 year old were absorbed in their books. This section of the library is set apart by walls and other sound proofing ways from the rest of the library which I really appreciate as a mother of loud boys.
I wandered through other parts of the library and thought eagerly about coming back without my youngsters so that I could pull up a comfy chair and sit a spell. Everything is artistically presented, well lighted, and inviting. It is absolutely beautiful.
The one downside of this library is that it would cost my family $100.00 for a year long library card because we are not residents, employees or students in Cerritos.
We look forward to coming back on a sunny warm day to enjoy the fountain outside. But on this cloudy day, we enjoyed walking through the Sculpture Garden near by. It was beautiful as well!

"Beautiful, modern library and fun activities"
Beautifully redone and highly modern, this library is fun on the outside; there is a fountain that the kids can play in whenever they want to and in the summer it is normal to see kids with their suits and sandals running around), There is also a koi pond outside with little turtles as well. There is a giant dinosaur skeleton in the kids room, a huge floor to ceiling aquarium, computers, games, and more. The city also has tons of programs like magic shows, author meet and greets, story time and movie nights and the like. Some require registration (and a library card) but others are for anyone and everyone. . During the summer they always have a summer reading program for the kids (and the adults) with great weekly incentives as well as a free book for those who participate in the whole program. This library rocks!
