After months of planning, work and now tidying up, the Quiet Reading Room is ready for its Grand Opening! I extend my humble thanks and appreciation for all the hard work that contributed to bringing us to this day.
- Thank you to the Friends of the Hutchinson Public Library for funding the project!
- Thank you to the Staff and others who worked on the committee to design it: Mary Lou Sunderland, Martha fee, Lisa Dethloff, Julie Magyar, Cheryl Canfield, Lou McConnaghy, Roni Boldt, Austin Smith, Tremaine Fernandez, and Charlene Childs.
- Thank you to the Library's Maintenance staff for making the space spic-and-span for today.
- Thank you to Annette Smith for the preparations for the Grand Opening celebration.
I hope that the patrons of the library see the space for what it is; a sanctuary to get away from the noises that accompany the modern public library, a little oasis of calm for quiet contemplation and study. It is also a tip-of-the-hat to the history of this building.

I am a most grateful library patron. Coming to browse & get a book is one of my favorite pasttimes. The staff are so pleasant and have almost become friends. I so look forward to Wow Wednesdays. Thank you very much.
