Officials say the project to renovate and expand the Meriden Public Library now is around 90% complete. During a walkthrough of the Miller Street building on Monday afternoon, the sounds of construction were still audible and some debris was still present, as Montagno Construction crews continued on the $13 million project. Construction began in early 2022. Officials eyed April 10 as the date for Montagno to turn the building back over to city officials. Officials have marked July 1 as the date for the library’s grand reopening. “Libraries are now becoming community centers,” Welsh said. “It’s more than just books. Now it’s distribution of content and the creating of content, creativity. And, putting the two together.” Welsh envisioned a partnership between the library and the Meriden Public Schools to allow students and adults to learn how to utilize that technology for their own content creation.
