Classes visit the library once a week. All books are checked out for one week. Students may renew a book if they have not had time to finish it. The library does not charge late fees. However, if a book is damaged or lost, you will be asked to pay the replacement cost of that book.
Checkout limits by grade: Kindergarten - 1 book
1st Grade - 2 books
2nd, 3rd, 4th - 3 books Overdue Book Policy
Overdue Notices are printed on Monday mornings. If a book is more than one month overdue, a notice will be mailed home. The student's library privileges are suspended until the book is returned or payment is made. Birthday Book Club
Granger School has a special way of honoring a student's birthday. When you receive the Birthday Board notice, a list of books will be attached. If you are interested, return the birthday book form and a check for the amount indicated made out to Granger School PTO. The book will be stamped with the child's name and your child will be the first person to be able to check the book out of the library. This is a great way for your child to leave a remembrance at Granger School.  Library/Internet Resources
Accelerated Reader
The Accelerated Reader program is used to test the student's comprehension of books they have read. Granger School Library books are marked so that students will know the books for which we have tests. Tests may only be taken at school.
If you would like to help your child search our test list, we have purchased, QuizList. QuizList is an online search that helps students find books that are of interest to them. This is a great tool to help them keep reading and stay interested in the books they read. They can then write down the name of the book and the library staff will assist them in finding the book the next time they are in the library. Click on the link below to access QuizList. QuizList Agawam Public Library
The Agawam Public Library has many resources available to students and parents. There are two folders at the Children's Library Desk with Accelerated Reader test lists for Granger School. One folder is in author order and the other is in title order. The books are not marked for each elementary school but the librarians are very helpful in locating books. The link below will be helpful to search if a specific book is available at the library. Agawam Public Library
