Children’s Book Week - May 11-17

Hi everyone, Come and join us in celebration of the Children’s Book Week from May 11-17. The library staff has assembled a beautiful display of their most memorable children’s books. This fun exhibit will certainly bring back childhood memories. Do you have a favorite children’s book? Share it with us on the sheet next to the display. We hope you enjoy the exhibit!

Hongmei's Art at the Art Gallery

Last week, Paula Pereira and Nick Metz, both circulation workers, visited the Cerritos College Art Gallery to see HongMei Xu’s masterpieces. Hongmei has been working as a library aide in the library for over a year and the library staff has been aware of her exceptional art talents. She painted a beautiful portrait of her daughter named “The Gift For My Daughter Alice” and she also has an abstract piece made with plaster.

On Wednesday April 29 the Library Dean and librarians honored the dedicated library staff by presenting them with a basket of scrumpteous goodies from Harry & David. Since we all love to eat, we thought fine food was the perfect way to thank our hard-working staff for all they do to keep our library running. Without them we'd be lost!
