Sheridan Public Library Director, Steve Martin, will retire Dec. 31, 2019 after 12 years of service.

“As a small community library, we are able to interact with our customers on a personal level. It is that reaching out - that one-on-one relationship - that means so much to people,” says Martin. “I feel that is perhaps the primary reason why the library has become such an important ‘go-to’ spot in this community. I fully expect it to continue.” He continues, “This community has been a pleasant experience for me because of its size. I grew up on a farm in a small community in western New York, so Sheridan is a very comfortable fit for me. I immensely enjoy chatting with and getting to know the people in the community.”

The Sheridan Public Library has once again combined a love of reading with the spirit of the holiday and another Christmas tree made of books has been created!

Steve Martin, library director, put the finishing touches on the library’s annual creation. Martin says he began this venture about five years ago and each year the finished tree looks better than its predecessor. This year is no exception.

Like a lot of service clubs in smaller communities, new members can be hard to come by and younger members are particularly difficult to recruit.

That is why Sheridan Rotarians are very happy to celebrate new member Pam Harwood joining our club. 

Sheridan Rotary had the pleasure of a special guest recently, Dr. Orey Pence, grandson of Rotary member Les Pence.

Dr. Pence graduated from the IU School of Dentistry just this past May and was invited to speak to the club members about the newest developments in the field of general dentistry. It was an eye-opening talk because most of the members remember the old days when a trip to the dentist was an occasion of great anxiety.
