• General Questions

    Restrictions in contracts with digital content providers prohibit non-residents from using eBooks or most streaming services.

    Those who do not have cards are welcome at the library. While you may not borrow materials, you may use many other library resources and services:

    • Browse and read materials in the library
    • Use public access computers and the guest Wi-Fi (LIB-Guest) connection
    • Attend library programs, as space permits
    • Use fee-based services such as faxing, printing, and copying

    These cities geographically touch Frisco, fund their own city libraries at a level comparable to Frisco’s, provide similar services, and have entered a “Reciprocal Lending Agreement” with Frisco to offer no-charge memberships to Frisco residents.

    Frisco ISD and the City of Frisco are two separate taxing entities. Property owners pay taxes to Frisco ISD to cover the costs of public education, including support of school libraries. Taxes paid to the City of Frisco cover the cost of police and fire, infrastructure, parks and recreation, the library and more.

    The Frisco Library is funded through City property taxes paid by those who live within the city limits. County funding, historically accepted by the Library, only subsidized 10% of actual library use by county residents, but is no longer received. State funds for libraries have been eliminated. These funding realities make it necessary to limit no-charge services to Frisco residents. The fee for non-residents ensures that all Frisco Library members provide financial support for the materials and services used.

  • Tot's Town & Kid's Club

    Tot's Town is an educational space designed exclusively for children ages 5 and under and their caregivers to engage in active learning together. 90% of a child’s brain develops within the first 5 years of life. Tot's Town offers a wide variety of activities that have been professionally designed to encourage reading, writing, vocabulary, letter and number recognition, and narrative skills, as well as age-appropriate, hands-on offerings that introduce science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills. Children who engage in purposeful play in their earliest years are proven to display greater comprehension, vocabulary, and cognitive skills by the time they enter kindergarten.

    Kid’s Club is an active-learning space designed exclusively for children in kindergarten-5th grade. Kid's Club offers a variety of educational and STEM-driven activities such as the Race Zone, Ball Wall, Robotic's Arena, and microscopes that allow children to get hands-on experience with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

    It is located along the back wall (south side) of the Frisco Public Library at 8000 Dallas Pkwy.

    You can visit Tot's Town & Kid's Club Monday through Thursday from 9am-8pm, Friday through Sunday from 9am-5pm. Admissions to Tot's Town & Kid's Club end one hour prior to closing. Admission is free.

    Though Tot's Town may look like a play area for families with older children, it is actually an enhanced-learning and play environment specifically designed for young children who have not yet begun school. While children who have entered school might enjoy some of the features of Tot's Town, they are at a different developmental level than the children for whom Tot's Town was designed. 

    Older children can explore Kid's Club, right next to Tot's Town. Kid’s Club is an active-learning space designed exclusively for children in kindergarten-5th grade. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

    To maintain an organized and hygienic environment, Tot's Town & Kid's Club will be tidied throughout the day and cleaned on a daily basis. All visitors are encouraged to use our materials appropriately and put them away before moving to a new area.

    We monitor how many people are in Tot's Town & Kid's Club with occupancy counters as visitors enter. Staff are able to see how many spots are available in the space on the computer monitor at the Tot's Town Information Desk. 

    Once our capacity has been reached we will begin a waiting list.

    Once your name is on the waiting list, you may wait in the children's area of the library where there are books and other early literacy activities to occupy your child. You will receive a text that will notify you of when it is your turn.

  • Borrowing and Returning Items

    The Frisco Public Library does not charge daily fines for overdue items.

    If you have overdue items, your account will be blocked (which means you won’t be able to place holds or check out new items) until all overdue items are checked in.

    If items are kept more than 30 days overdue, your account will be turned over to a collections service. These items are assumed lost and your account is charged for the price of each item, a per-item processing fee (the price of making a regular book from a library vendor into a proper library book), and a referral fee. If the items are returned in good condition, the price of the items and the processing fees are waived. The $20 referral fee is non-refundable.

    We have four return locations:

    • Inside the library's lobby, to the left of the library entrance.
    • At the drive-thru on the east side of the building.
    • At the book locker located inside the Frisco Athletic Center.
    • At the book locker located inside Stonebriar Centre outside of CONNECTION.

    You can pickup holds at three locations:

    • Inside the Frisco Public Library from the holds shelves and through the drive-thru window on the east side of the building.
    • At the book locker inside the Frisco Athletic Center (FAC).
    • At the book locker at CONNECTION inside Stonebriar Centre.

    Please note: If you have placed items on hold for FAC or CONNECTION, an "in transit" status will be assigned prior to delivery. However, this does not mean they are currently on the way to the lockers. We have a limited number of lockers available at each location, so your status may remain "in transit" for a few days. 

    While the library has one location, you can pick-up holds and return books to our book locker inside the Frisco Athletic Center or the book locker at CONNECTION inside Stonebriar Centre. 

    CONNECTION inside Stonebriar Centre also has a small children's collection available for checkout.

    You can opt-in to view a list of your checkout history. The default setting is for this feature to be disabled. If you choose to opt-in or remove this setting, changes may take 24 hours.

    • Open "My Settings". Go to "Borrowing History" in "Account Preferences".
    • Enable toggle for borrowing history.

    To view checkout history:

    • Log in to your account.
