Measuring Measure S

Library System

Aptos Branch Library Update - The County and Library are working with the construction team at the Aptos Branch Library on an effort to allow staff to enter the facility and begin setting up amid construction delays. The main snag causing this delay is due to the installation of acoustic sound baffles that will hang from the ceiling. Sound baffles are ceiling treatments made of a wide range of materials to absorb sound and reduce background noise and echoes within a large space or private area. Some of the baffles are slated to arrive on December 19th and can take up to five days to be installed. However, the Winter holidays may cause further delays, even if the sound baffles arrive on time. After installation, the Fire Inspector and Building Inspectors need to provide a final review. Stay tuned. 

 

On February 11, 2016, the SCPL Facilities Financing Authority placed a $67 million bond measure (later designated Measure S) on the June, 2016 ballot. With 70% approval, voters agreed to fund Measure S.

These Measuring Measure S pages serve as a timeline and a documentation of the planning process and progress at each of the ten branches.
