Start of summer update

A guitar-playing weasel?  Why not!

Lots of interesting things going on here at HPL to start off the summer.

First, there are our summer reading programs for children, young adults and adults.  We have fun activities planned starting with our huge summer kick-off celebration scheduled for next Friday (June 8) from 9:30 am through 11 am.  There will be games, prizes, treats, and all sorts of fun!  If you click the image to the left, you can find more information about the celebration and the summer reading programs at the library's website.

Second, our coffee bar is opening back up!  Bookworm Brew will be open for business in the next week here in the Hutchinson Public Library.  Stop in and give it a try!

Third, we're getting ramped up to start moving things around.  What?  Moving things around?  In a library?  Yes.  We're going to move the remaining part of the adult non-fiction collection to the second floor in order to arrange the collection more logically AND to make a little space available on the first floor for an interesting project.  We are re-imagining the library technology center.  It will no longer be just a room full of Internet computers.  We envision a place where citizens can come and get technology advice and assistance with their gadgets and electronics and how they work with services the library offers.  It will be a place where there are comfortable places to sit and use our WiFi, borrow our gadgets, or use a traditional desktop computer just like we have now.  There will be printing services and other traditional offerings as well.  Most importantly though, we will help our patrons better understand their tools and our services.
