A crew from Bogard Construction use an excavator to demolish the Aptos Branch Library Wednesday on Soquel Drive at State Park. A new library is in the works and expected to be completed by Summer 2023. The $14 million project was funded by voter-approved Measure S and donations from the community. The new 12,400-square-foot space will include expanded and improved amenities, including an outdoor reading room, garden, patio, rideshare and bike parking, group study rooms, a gallery, a community room and terrace, public art and historic features in partnership with the Aptos History Museum.
