The Robinson Library serves the students, teachers and parents of Opal Robinson Elementary School  (Manhattan Beach Unified School District). Each class visits the library every week to check out books, hear a story, and practice library skills. During the library’s open hours, students accompanied by a parent or guardian are welcome to visit the library except during class visits. The library’s collection includes over 13,000 books, reference materials, videotapes, and art prints. The library is staffed by one part-time library media specialist, Yukari Matsuyama. Trained volunteers assist in the library, particularly during class visits. The library is generously supported by funding from the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, the Robinson PTSA, the Manhattan Beach Rotary Club, and the Manhattan Beach Historical Society.

• We are once again throwing ourselves into reading the California Young Reader Medal nominees. Click here for more information about how CYRM works.

• Newly acquired books, if they are not yet checked out, can be found in the picture book section of the library on little stands marked "Brand New Book!" A list of new book titles can also be found on the bulletin board outside the library.
  
• I am so pleased that students like the bookmarks I provide; each bookmark is lovingly hand-stamped using stamps from my collection. Students may only take one bookmark per visit (regardless of how many books they check out). Please be kind to the environment and reuse the bookmarks as long as possible.
