Library Book Notification

During the annual student registration process, parents have the opportunity to receive notifications regarding the library books their child has checked out. Families have two options:

No, I would not like to receive email notifications every time my child checks out or renews a book from their campus library.
Yes, I would like to receive email notifications every time my child checks out or renews a book from their campus library.

Frisco ISD parents who need to change their library book notification subscription should select the appropriate link below. Unsubscribing from the library book check out email notifications will not remove parents from receiving overdue notices through email, as this is a part of our system settings the District is unable to change.

Library Book Preferences

Frisco ISD parents and guardians can create a prohibited library book list for their child. Frisco ISD parents and guardians can log into the library catalog, make a list of prohibited books and assign this list to their child. Titles selected as prohibited by the guardian will be unavailable for checkout in the campus library for that student.

Frisco ISD strives to provide transparent and accessible information to parents and guardians. This feature creates another avenue for families to become involved in what their child is reading, have more tailored access to library materials for their child, and ensure that all students have access to information.

Create a Prohibited Resource List

Have your Portal information ready to access your child's library catalog. The Portal information page provides helpful information for guardians needing their login credentials.
Select your student's campus within the campus library catalog.
Once you’ve landed on the campus catalog page, select the login option at the top right corner.
Follow these step-by-step instructions.
