Glenoaks Elementary School

The Glenoaks Elementary School Library is located in the main school building and is open for class visits Tuesdays-Thursdays. Our catalog consists of more than 10,000 fiction and non-fiction books and periodicals covering a wide range of topics and book genres. Our catalog supports the standards and satisfies the ever-changing reading needs of our students.

Our mission is to provide our students with a vibrant, inviting library space that not only holds the resources they need to assist them in their studies but also a place where they will be encouraged to feed their minds and learn something new about the world and the people around them. 

We strive to teach our students grade-level-appropriate library skills so they can navigate their way around our library (and any library!) as independently as possible. Above all, our goal is to instill a love of reading in all of our students.
