The front entrance of the library and the much of the outside parameter was landscaped, funded by the Parks and Public Spaces Initiative with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. We received a new bicycle rack that is a public art piece placed on the south side of the library entrance, with slate rock laid on the north side of the entrance and two large planters in front of two brick pillars where we planted Red Yucca plants.

Removed the old lounging seats that were worn and dirty from the Teen/Young Adult area and added a second café table with high stool/chairs. This creates a visible space for teens to sit and study and makes this area more inviting and functional.
The Village Library replaced old broken task chairs at all 16 public computers and we now have comfortable, simple task chairs that are adjustable and do not show dirt, even after several months of daily use.
