    I absolutely love coming to the Cerritos Library! It's one of the most beautiful libraries I've…read morevisited. The interior is modern, bright, and aesthetically pleasing, making it such a relaxing place to spend time. It's peaceful, well-maintained, and simply a great space to read, learn, and unwind. My favorite part is the children's area. The aquarium is always a hit, and I love the prehistoric theme with the dinosaur fossils and the fun ceiling design. It makes the space feel so imaginative and inviting for kids. The library is also thoughtfully laid out with dedicated areas for children, teens, magazines and publications, plus an extensive collection of books on the second floor. There are even study rooms you can reserve ahead of time, which is a great feature if you need a quiet place to work or study. Parking is convenient since it's next to the sheriff's station and shares a large parking lot, including basement parking.

    My inner child was so happy to visit this library. It is beautiful. The staff are also very nice …read more I visited and stayed there 2 hours without noticing the time . I wish I lived closer so I can visit more . You may get a library card if you don't live in the area but you do have to pay a yearly fee. For now I just admired the beautiful children's section, the reading rooms and I sat and read in peace . Great job Cerritos library staff .

    The Leland R. Weaver Library is one of the best community libraries I've visited!…read more Plenty of free parking, including ADA-accessible parking spaces, makes it easy and convenient for everyone to visit. The library has two dedicated computer areas--one for adults and one for children--so visitors of all ages have access to computers and the internet. They also have a Teen Center and offer a variety of free programs and activities for teens and younger children, making it an amazing resource for families and the community. The library provides clean men's and women's restrooms with staff-controlled access, which helps keep the facilities secure, clean, and available for library visitors. One thing I especially appreciate is that the library has armed security on site. It gives me added peace of mind knowing there's a visible security presence, especially when I'm visiting with my children. It makes the library feel safe, welcoming, and well cared for. The staff truly make this place stand out. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They go above and beyond to make visitors feel comfortable and supported. Whether you're looking for books, computer access, a quiet place to study, educational programs, or a safe place to bring your family, I highly recommend visiting the Leland R. Weaver Library. It's a clean, welcoming, and family-friendly library that offers something for everyone!

    Came to the library today with a reservation already booked. Arrived 30 minutes early to get…read moresettled -- the room was completely empty, no one using it. Instead of using common sense, staff told me I couldn't be in the space without a reservation despite the fact that it was sitting vacant and I had one starting shortly. To top it off, the room before mine had a no-show and still nobody used any flexibility or judgment. Just rigid rule enforcement with zero consideration for the people actually trying to use the space. The library was closed for over a year for a remodel -- and this is the hospitality we come back to. Disappointing. Leadership should revisit how staff interact with patrons who are clearly there in good faith. Plus it looks the same, barely changed a thing. Take a peek for a laugh, but I wouldn't come Here. And yes, this is what your hard money went to. Millions of dollars wasted for this "improvement" and hospitality. Please...

Nice clean bathrooms, and the staff have been very friendly whenever I needed anything. They also have a Makerspace if you're interested in crafting like 3D printing! Only minor cons are the flies during summer, and I personally wish the bathrooms had paper towels instead of hand dryers

    I was banned from the library after being accused of smoking, despite being underage and never…read moresmoking in the library. Staff informed me that I was being banned from all public libraries because they believed I had smoked in a study room. This accusation is false. Additionally, when a fire alarm went off, I was blamed for the incident without any evidence and was asked to leave the library. As a result, I received a ban from all public library locations. I do not believe this decision was fair, as I was not involved in any of the actions I was accused of. Also every time I went in I was always looked at even when I turned the corner they will have someone go and see what I was doing even though I'll be on my phone playing my video games or doing my homework every time I looked up there was someone just staring at me and it made me really uncomfortable especially that I am minor my experience at the Michelle Obama neighborhood library was absolutely horrible and I would not recommend unless you want to be falsely accused of and being followed around and stared at.
