The Hutchinson Community Foundation has awarded an $8,000 grant to the Buhler Public Library to support a community improvement project aimed at enhancing the library’s visibility and appeal.
The funding was provided through the Fund for Reno County under the foundation’s Community and Economic Development grant program as part of the 2025 Impact Cycle 2.
Library officials plan to use the funds to install a fun, interactive wall mural inside the facility and update the building’s exterior appearance with a new awning along Main Street. The improvements are designed to make the library a destination that visitors will want to return to while increasing awareness of the services it offers.
Foundation representatives said the grant reflects an ongoing investment in projects that strengthen communities across Reno County. By supporting enhancements at the Buhler Public Library, the foundation aims to contribute to local economic vitality and community engagement.
Library leaders said their goal is to emphasize that the library is a welcoming and enjoyable place for residents of all ages — both inside and out.
