So, You’re Looking for Dog Man

With the new Dog Man book, Big Jim Begins, arriving at the library (75 new copies to be exact), you may wonder how to get your hands on a copy. You have two options: go to the New Youth Books section in the library or place a hold. The best advice, especially with any Dog Man book, is to place a copy on hold. However, I am going to walk you through the steps on how to find Dog Man in the library.

So, first option: Go to the New Youth Books section. The bookcases will have a blue stripe down the middle of the shelf stating, “new books”. The bookcases are behind Rexy, the dinosaur.

Then look for Graphic Novels on the side of the bookcase. It’s alphabetically by the author’s last name or character name. So, you will need to look for DOGMAN.

If you are looking at the catalog, you will get this information when you click on the View location availability. See below.

The location availability will let you know the book location within the collection and the call number, which is basically a books address.

The call number for Dog Man books is J GRAPHIC DOGMAN or J GRAPHIC PILKEY

Now, placing a hold! Search for the Dog Man book you want on the website catalog, or on the Frisco Public Library App, and click on the green button Place Hold. You will need your library card number and password (not pin) to login to your account. Once you have placed a book on hold, it will email you when it’s ready for pick-up. And that’s it! You’re done.
