- Programs such as Success with Succulents and Cacti, Harp Essence Ensemble concerts, and Blackland Prairie Raptor Center
- VOX books
- Reading Summer Program celebration and participation prizes
- Partnering with other organizations to bring a Storybook Walk to Coppell
- Portable device chargers available for in-library checkout for patrons
- Sponsorship of all TAMS JETS Science boxes

- Support for the library during community events, including Celebrate Coppell, Kaleidoscope, the Coppell Farmer's Market, etc.
