经过8年多的努力和债券投票，阿伯丁开始更新其1950年的时代图书馆。以前的图书馆过于拥挤，没有多少自然光，而且遭受了多次的水损害。为了解决这些问题，人们采用了一种新的基于城市的设计，并为这个城市开发了一个新的“起居室”。其结果是一个既能激发社区需求，又能满足社区需求的先进建筑。这个图书馆的设计初衷并不是为满是灰尘的书籍和卡片档案；它被设计成一个创意、研究和合作的中心，并免费向公众开放。

After more than eight years of effort and a passed bond vote, Aberdeen proceeded with replacing its 1950’s era library. The former library was overcrowded, had little natural light, and suffered from repeated water damage. A new civic based design was pursued to address these issues, and to develop a new “living room” for the city. The result is a state-of-the-art building that can both inspire and serve the needs of the community. This library was not designed to be a bin for dusty books and card files; it was designed to be a center of creativity, research and collaboration…and to be free to the public.

K.O. Lee Aberdeen图书馆，沿着第三大道的线形结构，是一个当代设计，灵感来自于阿伯丁的四个原始铁路仓库，至今仍屹立于此，包括北部的大仓库，密尔沃基的仓库，芝加哥西北的仓库，明尼阿波利斯和圣路易斯的仓库。虽然这些仓库表达多种风格的建筑，其中的三个，外加这个图书馆北侧的历史建筑，主要是工匠与草原风格，这座新建筑试图用微妙的手段，用现代的手法融合这种风格。

The K.O. Lee Library, with its linear configuration along 3rd Avenue, is of a contemporary design with inspiration from the vernacular of four original railroad depots in Aberdeen which still stand today, including; The Great Northern Depot, The Milwaukee Depot, The Chicago Northwestern Depot and The Minneapolis and St. Louis Depot. While these depots articulate multiple styles of architecture, three of these, along with the historic buildings to the north of this library that formally housed Central High School, are predominately designed in the Craftsman/Prairie Style, and this new building attempts to pay subtle deference to that style in a contemporary way.

由于许多铁路线路进入城市，使得整个城市从空中的角度看起来像是轮辐一样， 或者说是一个“枢纽”，南达科他州的阿伯丁被戏称为“枢纽城市”。这座图书馆坐落在铁路在一百多年前第一次汇聚的中心地带的附近，连接过去和未来。同时该项目也是另一种社区中心，能够连接和丰富居民和访客的生活。

As a result of the many railroad lines that entered the city and created spokes, or a “hub”, from an aerial perspective, Aberdeen, South Dakota, was nicknamed the “Hub City”. This library, located near the heart of where those railroad lines first converged more than one hundred years ago, is intended to be a link to the past and the future, and is another kind of community hub – designed to connect and enrich residents and guests for many generations.
