The Delaware County District Library (DCDL), a community pillar of literacy and learning, is no stranger to praise for its efforts. However, the current wave of acclaim flowing its way doesn’t merely pertain to its abundant book selection or its engaging community programs. This time, the spotlight is shining on the aesthetic and functional design of its Liberty Branch Library, which has been nominated for the coveted AIA Ohio Design Award.

Launched by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Ohio Design Awards is an annual event designed to spotlight and celebrate quality design, high-performance spaces, and the core principles of AIA’s Framework for Design Excellence. The purpose? To promote these initiatives and inspire Ohio architects to view their work from a more comprehensive, holistic perspective.

The Liberty Branch Library, now shortlisted in the “Newly Completed Buildings” category for the 2023 AIA Ohio Design Awards, is the latest addition to DCDL’s portfolio. Its architectural marvel, blending seamlessly with its intent of being a community learning space, has caught the discerning eyes of the AIA.

But to clutch this distinguished award, the Liberty Branch Library needs more than just the AIA’s nod of approval – it needs the community’s support.

The DCDL is, therefore, inviting all its patrons and Delaware County residents to demonstrate their love and appreciation for the Liberty Branch Library by casting their vote. You can make your voice heard by visiting the AIA Ohio website, where daily voting is open for the awards.

Helping the DCDL win this illustrious recognition is easier than you think! It’s a simple, few-seconds-long process, accessing this page and casting your vote.

So why not take a moment to make a big difference? Your vote can help reinforce DCDL’s commitment to providing a blend of learning and architectural beauty to the community, potentially setting a new benchmark for design in public spaces across Ohio.
