Books are used by the library system or sold at the Friends of the Plano Public Library Book Sale each year in July.

Magazines are sold by the Friends at all Plano libraries for 10 cents and paperbacks for 75 cents.

Book Dedication Program

The next time you are faced with finding the perfect way to express your feelings, consider making a donation to purchase a new book for Plano Public Library System's collection.


Contribute $25, $50, $75, $100, or $????. A librarian will help you choose a title or the library will choose one for you. A bookplate with the honoree's name may be affixed to the inside cover. Friends of the Plano Public Library will notify the honoree or family members of memorial gifts. Book dedication forms are available at Plano's five libraries' circulation desks. For more information call 972.769.4250.
