The Hutchinson Public Library will hold a public basement clearout sale this weekend as it prepares for an upcoming remodel.
The sale is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Jan. 16 and 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will take place in the library’s basement. Library officials say the event is an opportunity for the public to purchase surplus furniture and equipment at discounted prices.
Items available include desks, office tables, Makerspace tables, wall-mounted and floor cabinetry, shelving, office and lounge chairs, and miscellaneous office equipment. Among the items for sale are an electric stapler, a paper drill, an opaque projector, and a slide projector. Hutchinson Public Library Director Gregg Wamsley describes the offerings as typical office furnishings and equipment no longer needed by the library.
All items are priced to sell and must be taken at the time of purchase. Buyers are responsible for moving items out of the basement and should bring their own moving tools, such as dollies or hand trucks. Library staff will facilitate access for large items through the garage or emergency exit double doors.
All purchased items must be removed by the end of the sale on Saturday. Library officials encourage interested buyers to arrive early, as quantities are limited and items will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
