In 1996, Farragut Primary School Library was awarded a 21st-Century Technology Library based on a grant proposal. Circulation for the 1996-97 school year was over 50,000 items. With such a large circulation, the success of the library depends upon volunteers who work either morning or afternoon shifts every other week.

Finley's Reading Club is a literature-based reading program that encourages students to read highly recommended children's books.
Credit is earned by passing a computer-generated test on the book read.
Titles in the program are marked by a blue computer icon on the bottom of the book's spine. Ribbons are given for reading books in increments of 25. Pictures of students who have read 25 or more books are posted on a display in the hall outside the library. The screen saver for the library computers features the top readers of each six weeks. The student's complete record will be printed at the end of the year for the last report card.
