The next chapter: Aberdeen cuts ribbon on new library

One chapter has ended and another has begun for Moore County readers with the opening of the new Aberdeen Library. The celebration had been postponed twice due to inclement weather, but the skies were bright and clear as residents packed Exchange Street on Monday, Feb. 9, to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the town’s new library, a project more than a decade in the making. Before cutting the ribbon, Barbara Allred, founder of the Friends of the Aberdeen Library, reflected on the long path to opening day.  “I never thought in my life that we would have anything as beautiful as this building,” said Allred, smiling. “This dream came true because of the people standing here and the people who supported us. Thank you for making my dream come true." Allred explained that she began pushing for a new library in 2014 and spent years searching for a suitable location. The town donated the building in 2022, gifting the project a permanent home for a larger, modern library. Now, the newly renovated space features cozy reading areas, a vast (and growing) selection of books, dedicated areas for children and teens, a community room for meetings and programs, and a 400‑square‑foot rear patio outfitted with tables and umbrellas.
