    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.

    While most objects print in approximately 4 hours, the print time can vary significantly. You will want to use the software to get a print time estimate before booking a printer.

    Use the PreForm software if using the Formlabs resin 3D printer.

    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.

    Use the software to prepare your 3D print for printing to determine that amount of material needed to print your object. Costs are 25 cents per gram of filament or 40 cents per milliliter of resin to print.

    Use the PreForm software if using the Formlabs resin 3D printer.

    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.

    Quality trade paperback books.

    A unique number assigned by the Library of Congress. An LCCN number helps make it easier for libraries and other organizations using bibliographic data to acquire your book. An LCCN must be acquired before publishing a title. Trail Blazer Press can provide you with information that shows you how to apply for this yourself. 

    A unique number for identifying a specific book used by bookstores and retailers. You can add an ISBN anytime, even after publication.

    Trail Blazer Press provides step-by-step instructions to help you learn how to format your Book Block and Cover Sheet. We do not offer formatting and design services. Upon request we can help connect you with freelancers for hire that offer formatting assistance.

    We believe it is best to allow our authors to directly file any claims with the Copyright Office. Most find it a relatively straightforward process and we can provide you some basic information upon request by email. Copyright can be filed for after publication.

    Once a book has been approved for printing, we can usually print a copy on the day of your on-site appointment. For larger quantities:

    • 10 copies - 4 weeks

    • 100 copies - 40 weeks

    Trail Blazer Press is unable to accommodate requests for more than 100 copies. If you desire additional copies, you may put in subsequent requests after pickup is completed.

    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.

    Staff is not available to assist with help using the software to design, prepare you object to print, or operating the printer. We do provide detailed step-by-step instructions that will help guide the first-time beginner through using the software to prepare an object for printing (Cura / PreForm) and operating the printer.

    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.

    The Library does not provide blank materials. Suitable materials can be found at home improvement, hobby, and online stores.

    You will want to bring in proof of the type of plastic you are wanting to use (product label or similar). Approved plastic types include PLA and acrylic. Chlorinated plastics (PVC, vinyl, etc) cannot be used with the laser cutter.

    Most projects take an hour to set up and complete. Times vary greatly and are dependent upon material type, size, and complexity.

    Check out this 3 minute video from Full Spectrum Laser.

    Always bring a test piece of the same material to fine tune the laser cutter settings first.

    Library staff are there to help you get set up, started, and coach you through the basic operations. We also have a manual available at the laser cutter.

    Vector graphic software (SVG) such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Vecteezy, or Tinkercad.  Engraved designs can be created in any software that can save the design as a .jpeg or .png. You can even create a design in a word processor for raster engraving.

    These file types used by Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and CorelDraw (.cdr) can usually be opened with the Inkscape software at the library and sent to the laser cutter. If it is a commonly used file type for laser cutting, we likely have an application that will open the file to send it to the laser cutter. We recommend bringing the original file along with a PDF version. 

    All of the interior pages of the book between the front and back cover. See Book Block.

    This is the back, front, and spine cover that wraps around the Book Block. See Cover Sheet. 

    A member may check out up to 100 items at a time. Within those 100 items, there are some limits by collection. At any given time, a member may check out:

  • 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.

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.

    To opt-in or to opt-out for checkout history:

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

    Government entities could request your checkout history and information will be provided to government entities in accordance with Library policies. By enabling checkout history for your account, you are doing so at your own risk.

    To view checkout history:

    • Log in to your account. 
    • Open "Borrowing History" on the "Checked Out" tab.
    • Titles will appear after the item is returned.
    • Titles checked out prior to enabling checkout history will not display.
