I'm going to be honest, I stopped by on my way to the fmr mkt to use their facilities-very clean & well maintained, you'd have to be buzzed in to enter. I like that it has paper towels coz I prefer it over the hand driers. It might be better for the environment but not for my health (unless I know that they actually disinfect those regularly, otherwise it harbors bacteria). The lady at the front was nice. The quiet library is open & airy, perfect for studying or simply perusing books. It has a large children's section with newer computers. It's conducive to learning & broadening our minds. I was probably one of the few kids in junior high (did I just age myself?) & high school who regularly visited the library to borrow books. I was a regularly at the Ivar (Hollywood Branch) Public Library & know that when the Mac desk top first came out-Cerritos Library had a roomful of them (Cerritos tax dollars at work, courtesy of the Cerritos Auto Square & the Cerritos mall). In this area (City Hall), there's an Olympic sized pool by the Senior Center (I think there are a total of 3, one of which has water slides ($25 entrance fee, unless it has changed) Dang, I should move to La Mirada! Another place to consider -ing out!!

I usually go to the city library but I'm very close to county so occasionally I like to go. I've had a few visits here and staff is not approachable. It seems like they try to avoid you or just me. Lol The librarian is also not helpful. 1 years after my first bad experience with him. I approach his desk and just like the first time. He's in conversation with same lady and I walk up smiling waiting to be acknowledged. I ask my question and his response "it's not that easy" well no sh*t that's why I'm asking.... The books are not organized by A.R points, grade or age. Its sections with categories/subjects... 1st grade books are mixed with 5th grade even 6th. I have a 3rd grader. He's not going to search one by one to find a book. I usually put him in the 3rd/4th grade section and let him browse. I spent 30 minutes going book by book checking grade level The city library has books by grade level. I'm willing to donate some volunteer time to get the county library the same. Yelp 2020 3/100

The library itself smells a bit moldy and it did trigger my allergies. The WiFi access wasn't available for me to use since I am not a Cerritos resident or a library card holder. What a bummer.

My daughter enjoys the educational apps on the iPads, the huge fish tank, the beautiful indoor tree, the rotating art/ themed display by the art room, the indoor lighthouse, and the books of course. I'm not sure if the koi fish pond is part of the library or the civic center but it's all in the same vicinity. There's also a dolphin water fountain my toddler enjoys and a sculpture garden. We always recommend this library to our out of town friends/ guests.

Ironically she's an EXPERT in this Field and can relate due to similar situation with her husband and her Dad worked in Immigration for 40+ years so she knows the In and Outs of the process and paperwork!!!! Mrs. Caroline has a WONDERFUL PERSONALITY AND IS A PEOPLES PERSON!!!! My husband was so NERVOUS, SHAKING AND SWEATING!!!! Mrs. Caroline tried to make him feel at ease and not to worry, when we needed more paperwork for him, once we got home I gave him Dramamine while I gathered paperwork!!! When we returned we were helped instantly by her and she answered all questions and was very thorough about the reviewing process etc..... Lastly i would like to say the minute you step into the Lobby you're INSTANTLY GREETED WITH A SMILE AND HELLO!!!! We have voted at this location for the last nine years and I'm so glad our Romanian friend told us to go here and Mrs. Caroline went above and beyond and if anyone in Buena Park or near go to BUENA PARK LIBRARY FOR YOUR PASSPORT‼

Every year they have a great summer reading program for young and adult readers. Sign up inside the branch at the help desk. I actually signed up this year!

It took only a couple of minutes to sign up--literally the fastest process ever. The librarians at the front desk were so friendly and welcoming. They let me choose from 2 different designs, but I went with the older one. This is a small building, but it feels cozy inside. The bookstore only takes cash or check since there isn't a way for them to take card payments, and they have so many cute postcards! I like how they have them on a rack because most places I've been to, they're just in a box. Anyway, they have so many resources here, despite the size. I was happy to discover magazines and major newspapers like the LA Times, Orange County Register, NY Times, and even a Korean one. I was also given a paper of all the locations within the county where the card is applicable.

It's a 2 story library. Upstairs have books and a couple small tables. There's an elevator available if unable to use stairs. Cons: the only complaint I have is that the staff at the Reference Desk get chatty and talk TOO loud. The thing is the seating tables to sit and read/study are right in front of that Reference Desk, so it's very inconsiderate and disruptive for the patrons trying to have a quiet read or study. I mean it's a library! It's supposed to be quiet yet the irony of the staff.
