点评:Our Frisco Public Library has wonderful programs for all ages. It is a library our community is proud of and is utilized by all ages. So many interesting activities and programs offered. It is one of the busiest libraries in Texas. We love our library.
As others have noted, the main problem is the building itself and lack of adequate parking. There's no getting away from the fact the building was once a manufacturing facility and is basically a large rectangle.
There is no overhead covering at the front of the building to offer protection from the rain. In an effort to make it appear more welcoming too much space was used as a flagstone walkway entry leading up to the main door. An effort was made to preserve some of the existing trees and provide limited outdoor seating. More parking spaces could have been constructed with a different entry design.
The hike from the sprawling parking lot is a challenge for some library patrons. The grassy areas between parking rows have uneven footing and are dangerous to maneuver as well as being wasted space.
Many patrons utilize the drive up windows located at the back of the library building for pick up when reserved books are ready and for returning due books. Thankfully, the traffic in that area is light.
I gave the library a 4 star rating rather than a 5 due to the exterior problems.

正如其他人所指出的,主要问题在于建筑本身以及停车位的不足。不可否认,这座建筑原先是一处制造工厂,整体形状就是一个巨大的长方形。大楼前面没有雨棚来遮挡雨水。为了让建筑显得更亲切宜人,设计师使用了大量空间来铺设通往正门的石板人行道。同时也尽力保留了部分原有树木,并设置了少量的户外座椅。如果采用不同的入口设计,本可以修建更多的停车位。
对于一些图书馆的访客来说,从广阔的停车场步行到图书馆也是一项挑战。停车场各排车位之间的草地地面不平整,既难以行走又存在安全隐患,同时这些区域也属于无效利用的空间。
许多读者在预订的书籍准备就绪后,会利用图书馆大楼后侧的免下车窗口来取书或归还到期书籍。值得庆幸的是,该区域的车流并不密集。
由于图书馆外部存在一些问题,我给它打了4星评分,而非满分5星。
