The Cerritos College library is host to its bi-annual book fair that runs from Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The book fair is sponsored by the library and Books are Fun, a Reader’s Digest company.

It is a fundraiser with all proceeding going to help in library funding.

Four racks of books, as well as two tables, which displayed many different types of literature and gifts, lined the library entrance.

The genres included books for readers of all ages, from kid stories, to cookbooks, to sport almanacs and everything in between.

“We have over 400 titles from kids to adult, but not that kind of adult,” said Toros Torosyan, Books are Fun employee, with a chuckle. “(We also have) educational, inspirational, musical and even DVDs.”

Torosyan explains that they offer a big discount compared to other big-name bookstores. “From 30 to 70% off,” he said, adding, “the only place that comes close to our prices is Costco, but you need a membership to buy from (it).”

It will also be carrying holiday books to cater the upcoming shopping season, as well as gift packs, which, according to Torosyan, tend to be the best deals.

Some gift packs include a “Pride and Prejudice” 10th Anniversary Collector’s Set which is composed of the three-disc edition of A&E’s “Pride and Prejudice” as well as a booklet for only $19.99, an item with a list price of $59.95.

The book fair has been held at the Cerritos College library for the past eight years, and comes along twice a year.
