New Stoughton Library Expected To Open In November

STOUGHTON, MA — Although no date has been set to cut the ribbon, the new Stoughton Public Library is nearing completion, according to library director Pat Basler.

The new $14 million facility is expected to open sometime in late November. Despite initially hoping for a late October opening, Basler said the project remains under budget.

Much of the construction is already done, library officials said in a statement.

"The exterior envelope has been completed. Sidewalks along the perimeter of the building are nearing completion. The lower parking lot has been paved with binder. All ceiling grids have been installed," library officials said.

Some work that still needs to be finished includes ceiling tiles and light fixture installations, as well as installing plumbing fixtures and floor finishing. A final coat of paint will go up soon too.
