Who would have thought a public library could be so awesome? We had some time to kill and decided to check this one out. The kids loved the giant books at the entry to the children's section. It also had a green screen they enjoyed playing in front of and seeing themselves on the TV monitor. There is a T-Rex skeleton and a little light house to use for a reading area, as well as a tree with nature sounds all in the children's section. We also had fun checking out the sculpture garden and playing in the dolphin fountain out front.

This is an awesome library! when u enter it there is a humongous aquarium with colorful fishes and a shark:) the children's library is amazing with a dinosaur model and also a theater... There are lots of places where u can study:) Internet access is fast as well;)

The outside architecture is striking, with the newer half of the library clad in titanium and sharp angles. The older half is from the original construction of the library that they blended together synergistically. The interior is very richly decorated, giving the impression that no expense was spared. You are immediately greeted with an enormous salt water aquarium and a replica of a tyrannisaurus rex that leads to the children's section. To the right of the entrance is the old world reading room, which is nicely furnished with dark green carpet and enormous wooden columns. There is a large digital media section where people may use computers and print information, as well as check out movies and documentaries. The second level also has quite reading and study rooms for individuals and groups. Overall the library is stunning and a fantastic place where someone can study or let their imagination flow as they write creatively. Certainly a library for the 21st century.

This is a state of the art library. Well maintained and fully stocked with just about any type of book, video, or other information needed. Has computers for use and staff is always willing to answer questions.

This not-your-usual kind if library is perfect for kids and adults alike. The moment you enter, you are greeted by sea creatures that can be mesmerizing. It's creatively stimulating everywhere you turn.

When visiting friends that live in Cerritos I thought it was odd that they wanted to show us their library. Every city has one, but not like this one. The bldg and decor are amazing, loved the children's area. Nice mix of furniture , interesting displays.

I never thought I'd be writing a review about a library, but here it is. WOW!! I've never seen a library like this one. I found it here on TripAdvisor for my short 2 night stay at the Sheraton Cerritos to see a show at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. The library is a short walk from both the Sheraton Cerritos and the CCforthePArts. Outside are large pieces of art on the lawn and a gorgeous building. There were several fountains outside, too. Inside, the first thing you see is a huge fishtank-amazing to have this in a library. One side is in the lobby, the other is inside the children's section. This library is for anyone who is just visiting the area like I did....It is definitely worth the stop. There is a gift shop, elevators, and escalators, 65+ computer stations on the second floor. I wish I had my camera with me. It really is something to see. You can make your visit as short or long as you like.

One of the best in the nation. Great children's department too. It is a beautiful building and very open and spacious. Highly recommend this library!!

We really liked the library. It would be nice if they let nun Cerritos residents to check out books. If they did we would come more often.They also have a nice watering area that is a nice way to cool off in the Summer time.

The building of the library ranks right up there with the best buildings. The library rates a visit if you are in the area. We always take our out of town guest to visit the Cerritos Library. Our grandchildren love the giant fish tank...

Bar none the best public library I've ever been too. The beautiful aquarium that serves as a wall for the children's section. The high ceilings, and modern decorum makes one feel as if they've stepped into a library at USC as opposed to one in a small city like Cerritos. Well.... Except that there are many kids here hanging out. Which is both good and bad. Good for the kids actually studying. Bad for the ones who are making this amazing library turn into a teenage mall where it's kids talking at tables and goofing around. They do however have silent proof rooms that you can reserve days in advance.Overall, great place to study and find the books you'll need. If they could only find a way to keep this library from being a social hangout instead of the beautiful place to learn.

An amazing library and a stunning architectural design. You will enjoy exploring this outstanding library. It is very innovative. You will also enjoy the large and colorful aquarium. Your children will also have fun in the children's library. Take your whole family.

It is a must watch to see the interiors of the library. Beautiful & eye-appealing and something different than the other libraries you might have seen.

This is a beautiful library and the pride and joy of Cerritos. The children's section is beautiful and top of the line. They also have an area for a small parties/gatherings at a very reasonable price.
