With a massive collection of books, a 20-foot tall T-Rex skeleton, events, and stunning architecture, the Frisco Library gives a mix between museum and library! It opened last year and not only continues being one of our favorite libraries in the metroplex, but it’s the 6th largest in the state at over 158,000 square feet!

FRISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Frisco Public Library opened last March and covers an area of 158,068 square feet. It is three times the size of its previous location! With a collection of 284,000 items, 22% of which are digital, you’re sure to find something that captures your interest. Find self-checkout, VR/AR holographic computers, drive-thru service, plus conference and study rooms, making your visit more convenient than ever!
It’s a great WFH spot too with 210 computers all with outlets!
THE DESIGN
The library’s architecture pays tribute to the endangered Texas Blackland prairies through native landscaping and décor. Wooden panels on the outside nod to early architecture, while the changing colors of the prairie seasons are reflected in the carpet inside! Plus, a second-floor terrace provides a view of the stunning Grand Park property!
FOR THE KIDDOS
Say hi to Rexy, the 20-foot tall T-rex skeleton replica whose footprints around the library make rumbling sounds when they’re stepped on! Toddlers can enjoy the Pond area with board books, while the Ready to Read Railroad at Tiny Town offers pretend play areas and STEM activities.
P.S. Guests can check out travel backpacks, cake pans, ukuleles, sports kits, drones & GoPros to learn before buying!
