The library building committee is moving forward with a smaller 24,000-square-foot plan and discussed further cuts to the design for the new building during a meeting the architects. The revised schematic of the building was first presented to committee members during a special meeting late last month by the architects at Whiting-Turner Co. The final cost estimate was $18.67 million, higher than the $17 million in spending voters approved for the project last November. With several major features put up as alternates, the implementation of certain parts of the current plan remain in flux. Designers and members of the committee are looking to come to a more solid determination of the project’s scope by their next meeting, which will be held on Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. at the Southington Library.
