The session was led by co-chairs Todd Reichelt and Lexi Baysinger. O’Fallon Public Library Director Ryan Johnson delivered a presentation based on questions and feedback from the first session on November 6, 2025. Topics included: space, location, programs, services, features, amenities and detailed financial information. Participants then worked in small groups to design the amenities of their ideal future library. Each table was given a base library configuration and a fixed amount of additional square footage and budget. Groups collaborated to select and prioritize additional amenities, such as multipurpose space, study rooms, makerspace areas, café space, and other community-focused features, without exceeding the provided limits. The activity was designed to promote collective decision-making and discussion, with each table identifying a recorder and facilitator to ensure the final selections reflected group consensus. Participants were also invited to suggest additional amenities and provide feedback or questions about the proposed library design. Most Selected Amenities The most frequently selected amenities across tables were: ●​ Additional Multipurpose Space ●​ Tech-Enabled Workspaces ●​ Additional Study Rooms ●​ Larger Children’s Area ●​ Additional Quiet Space Page 13 of 26 These amenities represent the strongest shared priorities across all of the small groups. They reflect a desire for flexible gathering space, strong support for work and study, and amenities that encourage longer visits. A second tier of frequently selected amenities included: ●​ Café / Coffee Shop ●​ Makerspace Area ●​ Sensory Room ●​ Small Business Pop-ups ●​ Memory Lab These spaces were widely supported and indicate a strong interest in family-friendly environments, flexible gathering areas, creative opportunities, and amenities that enhance the overall visitor experience. Amenities selected less frequently, but still supported by multiple tables, included: ●​ Larger Teen Area ●​ Banking Services ●​ Mailing / Shipping Services ●​ Art Gallery ●​ Historical / Museum Space These amenities reflect interest in specialized services, cultural and historical features, and practical community conveniences, though they were not prioritized as strongly as other space needs. Themes from Table Comments A review of the written comments reveals several consistent themes across groups. Outdoor Space​ Outdoor programming areas, covered learning spaces, landscaped gathering areas, and garden concepts were repeatedly mentioned. Participants clearly see outdoor space as an important extension of the library. Flexibility and Multi-Use Design​ Many tables emphasized combining functions within spaces, integrating art throughout the building, and designing rooms that can adapt to multiple purposes. Page 14 of 26 Comfort and Atmosphere​ Comments referenced natural light, comfortable seating, and welcoming environments that encourage people to gather, read and stay. Revenue and Operations​ Participants discussed café operations, potential usage fees for certain spaces, and overall financial sustainability. Clarification and Planning Questions​ Questions were raised about parking, transportation access, children’s programming, sensory room supervision, and storage needs. Overall Interpretation The data reflects strong alignment around a flexible, community-centered library that supports study, work, creativity, and gathering. Participants prioritized adaptable space, strong academic and work support areas, and welcoming amenities, while also emphasizing outdoor integration and thoughtful operational planning.

Art and Exhibit Policy – NEW Purpose The O’Fallon Public Library provides space for the display of artwork and exhibits that contribute to the cultural, educational, and civic life of the community. Exhibits help spark curiosity, celebrate creativity, and encourage exploration of ideas and perspectives. The Library welcomes exhibits from individuals, groups, and organizations. Displays may include artwork, collections, informational exhibits, or other materials that are appropriate for a public space used by visitors of all ages. Selection of Exhibits Exhibit space in the Library is limited and is scheduled at the discretion of the Library Director or designee. When considering exhibits, the Library may consider factors such as: • Suitability for a public space serving all ages • Relevance to community interests, culture, or education • Quality and presentation of the display • Space requirements and ease of installation • The Library’s schedule and operational needs The Library strives to present a broad range of creative and informational displays over time. The display of artwork or exhibits does not imply Library endorsement of the beliefs, viewpoints, or subject matter represented. The Library reserves the right to decline, limit, or remove exhibits that are inconsistent with this policy, disruptive to Library operations, or unsuitable for the Library environment. Exhibit Spaces This policy applies to designated exhibit areas within the Library, which may include: • Art display walls • Display cases • Temporary exhibit areas Page 23 of 26 • Other spaces identified by the Library for public displays Availability of these spaces may change based on Library needs and programming. Installation and Responsibility Exhibitors are responsible for the installation and removal of their displays unless other arrangements are approved by the Library. Exhibits must conform to the physical limitations and safety requirements of the display space. The Library is a heavily used public facility. While reasonable care is taken, the Library is not responsible for damage to or loss of displayed items. Sales The Library does not facilitate or participate in the sale of exhibited items. Artists may include contact information or QR codes so that interested individuals may contact them directly. Any transactions must occur independently of the Library. Applications Individuals or organizations interested in displaying artwork or exhibits may submit an application in a format determined by the Library. Page 24 of 26 Art and Exhibit Policy The O’Fallon Public Library is pleased to offer individuals, groups, or organizations the opportunity to display their artwork/exhibits. This policy is intended to encourage equitable access to artists in the O’Fallon area. Goals of the Exhibits • To support community education, cultural and artistic activities • To encourage individuals to contribute to the appreciation of the arts • To broaden horizons by presenting a wide range of art, collections or displays • To nourish intellectual, aesthetic and creative growth • To reach non-traditional library patrons Selection of Exhibits All exhibits, whether generated by the public or the library staff will be considered in terms of the criteria listed below. Responsibility for the selection of exhibits resides with the Art Review Committee consisting of the Library Director and at least two other appointed individuals. The library does not accept responsibility for ensuring that all points of view are represented in any single display. In presenting exhibits, the library does not imply endorsement of the beliefs or viewpoints of the subject matter. The library endeavors to present a broad spectrum of opinions and a variety of viewpoints. The following categories will be considered when approving exhibits: • Artist’s original work • Suitability of subject matter for the full range of library visitors, including children • Quality of the presentation • Local, regional, or historical or interest • Appropriateness to special events, anniversaries, holidays, etc. • Relation to other events or exhibits in the community • Representation of an influential movement, genre, trend, or national culture • Space requirements and ease of installation Some examples of items that may be exhibited include two-dimensional pieces and small three- dimensional works of art. Large scale pieces are not suitable for library spaces and may present operational challenges. Page 25 of 26 Applying for Exhibit Space All potential exhibitors must complete a display application to be submitted to the Art Review Committee. This form is available in the library or online at ofpl.info/policies. Decisions of the Art Review Committee are final. Exhibits are scheduled for at least one month by the Library Director after review and approval by the Art Review Committee. Individuals using the Library’s exhibit spaces may not install their works prior to the dates on which their space reservations begin. Previously selected artists may apply again, although only one application from any artists will be considered at any given time. Exhibitors should recognize that the Library is a public building used by a large number of people. Neither the City of O’Fallon nor the O’Fallon Public Library will be responsible for any damage or loss that may occur during setup and removal or during the time the exhibit is displayed. Each artist is responsible for hanging his/her own work and taking down the same when the exhibit has ended. The artist must schedule the installation and removal date and time with the Library Director. Artists who fail to remove items on or before the specified date will not be allowed exhibit space in the future. Costs incurred by the O’Fallon Public Library for dismantling and/or storage of exhibits will be borne by the artist/exhibitor. Exhibits must conform to the space restrictions of the exhibit areas provided. The O’Fallon Public Library does not allow solicitation or selling of items in the library. Art may be purchased directly from the artist but only outside the library. The artist’s name and contact information may be made available. No price tags may be affixed to the works exhibited or pricing lists distributed in the library. Brief information about the work may be displayed alongside the work. Such information should be typed and be no larger than 3 inches by 5 inches. The Library Board of Trustees may amend this policy whenever it deems appropriate and in response to changing conditions.
