The children's section is the pull: a dinosaur exhibit, interactive stations and a toddler-sized restroom, plus an outdoor garden and a water play pad. The entrance is easy to miss, with the lot off the adjacent street. Reports on staff and noise conflict, some finding it louder than a library should be.
Not your average library — a full-on kid destination with a 15,000-gallon saltwater aquarium framed in titanium at the entrance and a 'Save the Planet' Children's World. Look for Stan, the 40-foot T. rex replica, plus a lighthouse and space shuttle model. Go on a weekday morning to beat the after-school crowd.

The Cerritos Library is honestly one of the coolest libraries I’ve ever visited. It feels more like a museum or an attraction than a typical public library. The architecture is impressive, there’s a huge aquarium, and every area has something interesting to look at. The children’s section is especially amazing and clearly had a lot of thought put into it. Its also a GREAT place to put on headphones and write ! or read. My only complaint is tmobile has zero service there and the library charges like 100$ a year to be a member and get wifi... that sucks

A very nice library that is worth a visit if you're in the area. However, the lack of helpfulness and friendliness from the librarians was disappointing. This type of behavior makes it intimidating for children to ask for assistance.
