Preregistration for Optional Actvities
If you haven't made up your mind about the Artists' Bookmaking Experience or Cerritos Library tour yet, here's information from Cerritos Library's Stanley Strauss who designed both activities:
Artists' Bookmaking Experience
A book doesn’t have to be that thing you pull off a library shelf. It can be in the shape of a fan, a ladder, a hat box, or even a tennis ball! The Cerritos Library has a collection of over 200 artists’ books that challenge traditional ideas of just what is a book. Join Cerritos Library Public Services Librarian Stanley Strauss for an introduction to our artists’ book collection and make two books to take home with you – one made from a single sheet of paper!
Library Tour
Take a VIP tour of the world’s first experience library. On your Journey through Time – from our 15th Century Gothic style Reading Room to the 21st Century floor – you’ll be encouraged to ask questions and learn the philosophy behind our choices. We’ll even take you “back of house” through our staff areas. Tour groups are small to enhance interaction.
