Situated on four expansive acres of open fields in Harrington, DE, the Harrington Public Library rises above the landscape in a striking fusion of modern architecture and rural charm. The brand-new, 15,000 square foot library has become a destination for members of the community, who have long awaited an upgrade to their previous facility. The new space has allowed for an expansion of community programs and features private study rooms, additional computers, space dedicated to teenagers, and a courtyard for visitors to enjoy reading outdoors.
Clad in STERLING FSC®-Certified Abodo®, the clean, monochromatic exterior contrasts beautifully with the warm, natural tones of the interior. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outdoors in, allowing natural light to flow through the state-of-the-art facilities.
