The new structure will reflect the community's vision for a state-of-the-art hub, one that offers robust resources and a myriad of program and service offerings. The Village Branch pioneered bilingual library services in Lexington, and the new facility–nearly triple the amount of space as its predecessor–will expand resources available to Lexington's Latino, immigrant, and refugee families. The expansion will add community and study rooms; a dedicated classroom; makerspace; an outdoor reading area; expanded adult and children's areas; and a drive-thru window where customers can pick up and return borrowed materials.

In recognition of their donation, a 16-seat meeting room on the first floor of the Marksbury Family Branch will be named in Keeneland's honor. “It's been exciting for Keeneland to have a hand in making the Marksbury Family Branch a reality,” Keeneland Senior Director of Operations and Community Relations Kara Heissenbuttel said. “As a state-of- the-art space, this facility offers tremendous potential to both welcome visitors to Lexington and to serve people of all backgrounds.”
