HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gregg Wamsley with the Hutchinson Public Library told Hutch Post this week that there is still work to do on the project in the library's meeting rooms.
"I would say we're two thirds to three quarters of the way done," Wamsley said. "We had planned on a Dec. 1 completion date. We missed that. We're looking now at probably right at the beginning, the first week of January to be completed."
Patrons will have the opportunity to help the library name the new meeting rooms by visiting the service desk this month.
"We're working in the oldest portion of the building," Wamsley said. "You know as well as anybody, when you remodel, you discover things. There were things that had to be corrected."
The finished product will be more spaces for patrons.
"We're moving up from three meeting rooms that can be scheduled and used to four," Wamsley said. "All the meeting rooms will have new audio visual equipment in them. Some will have new furniture. We are adding a kitchenette to our largest room. When people want to have snacks and things, they want to have for their meeting, there will be a place to clean up and a refrigerator and stuff to use. We're putting a bathroom in that hall. That hall used to have bathrooms. Now it will have one again."
The list of names for the rooms were suggested by staff.
