The Grand View Elementary School Library is a stimulating place where students can acquire knowledge and gain insight; an inviting place where children can seek respite from a demanding day; a magical place where they can open books and open their minds for a better tomorrow.
The Library serves about 700 students in grades Kindergarten through 5 and more than 30 teachers. Holdings include books, magazines, art prints, videos, and music CDs - roughly 15,000 items. Library services have been automated since 2000 using Follett Library Resources. Thanks to the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, the Library is staffed with one part-time library media specialist. Approximately fifty parent volunteers assist with day-to-day operations. During the school year 2006-07 over 27,000 items were circulated---an increase of 2,500 more items than the previous year.
Library supporters include: the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation; the Grand View PTA; the Manhattan Beach Historical Society; the Manhattan Beach Rotary Club; the Grand View Student Council; and individual donors. Donations of gently-used children's books are always welcome. They may be added to the Library collection, distributed to Grand View teachers for classroom use, or donated to other area schools in need.
