“Just like a good book, the jury was captivated by the story that each of these projects tell. The sophistication, timeless color palette, and flexibility of the space showed imagination and structure. We were also inspired by the designers’ allegory of historical references true to each space’s surrounding communities while showing us the next chapter of library design.”—Jury Special thank you to our publishing partner:
