Southington Public Library readies for big move; opening of new building scheduled for early December

The Southington Public Library is almost ready for the community to enjoy an improved experience as it moves into a new state-of-the-art building in the next few weeks. The move from the current library location at 255 Main St. to the nearly 30,000-square-foot new building next door will begin on Nov. 18, with the reopening scheduled for Dec. 2. The Library Building Committee had planned an original opening date of Nov. 28 or even a little sooner but decided to hold off until after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, according to Town Council Vice Chair Jim Morelli. “I think the architect (DRA) and the building manager (Whiting-Turner) did a phenomenal job,” Morelli said. “They worked really well together for the town, and Turner managed the budget like it was their own money. They were able to really get a lot more things into the building than we thought we would originally, and it’s still all on budget.”
