The Foundation's efforts will encourage lifelong learning and impact the Frisco community for generations.

Who We Are
The Frisco Public Library Foundation was founded in 2003 by Frisco citizens who understood that a great public library system would not be possible through government funding alone.
Since then, the Foundation and the Library have worked together, in a strong partnership, to determine where private support can have the greatest impact on the Library.

Make a Gift
Donations provide an opportunity to give hours of enjoyment to others while preserving the memory of a special person and honoring someone you admire.
Donate a Book Legacy or Book Gift to honor someone or show them you care! Salute a retiring club officer, mark a birthday or anniversary, or thank a business or a friend for a special service. As a memorial, a Book Legacy or Book Gift is a fitting expression of sympathy and a lasting tribute that continues a person's influence in the community.
You may give a $500 Book Legacy or a $25 donation for the cost of a single book to the Frisco Public Library Foundation in the name of the person you wish to honor. A book plate will be placed in each book imprinted with the name of the person in whose honor or memory the book is given. We will also include the name of the donor.
