Sheridan County Public

Library System Newsletter

October 20th through the 26th

is National Friends of the Library

week! While our friends work hard

year round, we would like to take

this time to celebrate the Friends of

the Library who strengthen our

library and our community. This

organization, powered by volunteers,

helps fundraise throughout the year

to help fill the gaps where traditional

sources of funding fall short. This

year, with assistance from our

amazing community, the FOL raised

an impressive sum of $40,000 for our

library. The FOL organize and

sponsor a variety of events such as

Books and Brews and the annual Fall

Auction. Unfortunately, due to

COVID concerns, the FOL have made

the difficult decision to forgo the Fall

Auction this year.

Thankfully, our innovative

friends have come up with a fun

alternative. This October, the Friends

of the Sheridan County Library will

be hosting their first annual

Storybook Virtual Run! This

fundraising event allows you to dress

up as your favorite book character

and run, walk, jog, stroller, or crawl

any time and distance you choose.

The race will take place between the

24th and the 31st. You can register

online, print your own bib, and have

a t-shirt, sticker, and bookmark

mailed to you before the race.

Children 12 and under are FREE! For

more information visit:

runsignup.com/race/wy/sheridan/

FOLStorybookRun2020 or you can

check out Friends of the Sheridan

County Library on Facebook!

Our fabulous friends from left to right: Jennifer Will, Patty Gingles, Patty Hoover, Victoria Dahlstrom,

Susan Dewald, Tobie Alsup, Angela Knutson, and Ashley Sanderson. Not pictured is Ann Tollefson.

September is National Library Card Sign Up Month

Help us celebrate all of the places a library card can take you! Did

you know that your library card allows you to check out up to 40 books at a

time? As kids head back to school it’s important that they are aware of all of

the resources at their disposal. A library card not only grants students access

to our extensive catalog of over 100,000 books, but also our online

magazines, journals, and all of the statewide databases.

If you or your child don’t already have a library card, take this

opportunity to stop in and sign up for one! For the entire month of

September anyone who signs up for a library card will be entered to win our

Sheridan Fulmer Library Starter Bundle full of SCPLS swag to get you

started as a library lover for life! To sign up for a library card, children ages 15

and younger need a parent or adult with a library card or a valid photo ID to

sign the application. Persons ages 16 and older may apply for a card with a

valid photo ID. Persons ages 18 and older just need a valid ID and a

permanent local address to get started. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Shredfest

We will hold our annual Shred Fest from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

in the Fulmer Library parking lot on Wednesday,

September 23. A shredding truck from Secure Shred will

be on hand to securely dispose of documents and records

that contain sensitive information. Residents can drop

off up to two banker boxes of papers to be shredded for

free. Additional boxes will be accepted for a $10 per box

charge. Please remove plastic, wire or plastic binders,

3-ring notebooks, food or food wrappers, spring clips,

cardboard, newspapers, magazines, glossy paper, black

binder clips or spiral bindings from items brought for

shredding. However, staples and paper clips are

acceptable to leave on. This service is for personal

shredding only, no businesses please.

Take and Make Craft Kits

Every week this September and October we will

feature a new craft kit that patrons can take

home and make at their leisure! Kits include

instructions and all of the necessary supplies,

with the exception of glue/glue sticks, scissors,

markers, crayons, or tape if needed. These kits

might contain small or sharp pieces and are

intended for teens and adults, so we suggest that

children under the age of 12 have adult

supervision if they decide to take home one of our

projects. New kits will be located by the entry

doors on Monday mornings. Supplies are limited,

so we ask that patrons limit themselves to one kit

per person. Make sure you grab your kit early,

when they’re gone they’re gone!

YA/Adult Summer Reading Winners

Congratulations to our YA/Adult Summer

Reading Program challenge winners: Margaret

Magee, Barb Perry, and Cindy Ketron. Each

baskets! Together, we read a grand total of 615

books throughout the program! Thank you to

everyone who participated, we’re already looking

forward to next year!
