The Friends of the Library won’t have their annual auction this year.
Cameron Duff, director of the Sheridan County Library System, announced the cancellation at the library board meeting earlier this week. He said in lieu of the large annual auction, the Friends of the Library instead plan to focus on some smaller fundraising events.
Duff said the organization’s members are considering different fundraisers that can be held throughout the year.
He said the next Friends of the Library meeting will be on March 9, and organization members are still unsure at this time whether they will meet via Zoom or face-to-face.

Sheridan Media continues the look at the year now drawing to a close. Sheridan Media reporter Pat Blair reviews the events of this past summer.
Although COVID-19 was dampening public gatherings, the death of a man in Minneapolis, Minn., in May brought at least 200 Sheridan residents together on June 5 in a march to protest the killing of 46-year-old George Floyd. The march was from Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library to the county courthouse, and one of the marchers, Danielle Arnoux explained what the protest was about.

After talking to contractors on the project, Sheridan County Library Director Cameron Duff said replacement of the roof at the Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library probably won’t start before mid-March.
In a report to the library board this week, Duff said the problem is in getting materials that are needed for the work.
He said the work will be done in sections, with workers stripping off the old material and putting down new material one section at a time.
Duff told board members probably the most exciting news was that he had received results of asbestos testing on the roof. He said 52 sections of asbestos testing had all come back negative, so no asbestos abatement measures will be required.
