The family of Jean Hutton has given the Pioneer Memorial Library $6500.00 to beautify and make the circulation and checkout area of the library more dynamic. Funding through the Dallas Women's Foundation has aided the family to contribute to this special memorial for Jean Hutton. The library invited local artists to submit art work to go on the wall behind the circulation desk. The Pioneer Memorial Library Board of Trustees chose the piece to be placed as the memorial. Sheena Hemmert piece was chosen because of its beauty, Kansas values and ways it expressed our library motto: Bringing Words To Life!
Other important items add with the memorial gift was the actual placing of our motto on the opposite wall of the circulation desk. Along with that we placed creative canvas pieces to draw the colors of the rooms decor all together. As patrons come into our environment they read the theme and then turn to view the artwork that was made for this theme. The memorial also gave funds to have made a wonderful desk, painted wall, clock, plaque, and new signage in the library.
The artwork and unveiling for the family and community was held on August 5, 2012
Thank you Hutton Family for such a wonderful
Memorial and Gift to the Citizens of Colby and Thomas County!
