The Aiken Standard newletter on 22 July 2026 reported, "A recent landscape enhancement project, fund by the Friends of the Aiken Public Library, includes an analemmatic sundial that uses one's shadow to tell time." This, along with a memorial garden, honored Kathy Petty who bequeathed more than $1.6 million to the Friends of the Library and the library. "The installation of the sundial and garden were the result of months of planning by the Friends of the Library Landscaping Committee, led by Committee Chair Mary Shultz." "The Friends of the Library enlisted Cold Creek Nurseries to implement the new landscape design, which also created and gifted the human sundial to the Aiken County Public Library after designing a similar sundial on the Augusta Riverwalk."
