Aberdeen just got a brand new library, and it’s already won awards for its design. You’ve got to check this place out!
The new K.O. Aberdeen Public Library was designed by CO-OP Architecture, which won the 2017 AIA SD Honor Award and the People’s Choice Award for its work. You’ll see why the moment you walk through the door.
