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.
