Crews have been hard at work demolishing the old Southington Public Library at 255 Main St. now that the new, 30,000-sqaure-foot library opened next door in December. Efforts to build a new, state-of-the-art building have been in the works for several years, including residents’ approval of $16.9 million for the project in 2021. A $5 million state grant was awarded in 2023 to increase the square footage and improve the architectural features of the building. The total cost of the project was $21.9 million. The new library has two floors. The Southington Public Library recently shared a video to its Facebook page that showed Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. in the end stages of demolishing the old building.
