Sheridan Public Library Director Steve Martin will retire on Dec. 31.
An open house honoring his 12 years of service the library will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 29 in the Community Room of Sheridan Public Library, 103 W. First St.
While Martin may be retiring from the library, he will not be retiring from the Sheridan community, where he is involved in several community boards, committees and program events.
“I will not become a stranger to the community,” said Martin. He will continue to be part of Sheridan’s development through his work as the vice president of the Sheridan Historical Society, president of Economic Development Commission, a member of the Sheridan Coalition, and a member and officer of the Sheridan Rotary Club.
During his retirement, Martin will enjoy day trips with his wife, Vicky, and time spent interacting with his children, granddaughter and grand dog. A self-proclaimed homebody, he still likes places to go and things to do during the busy times of the day. He plans to pursue volunteer positions in the many non-profits in the Hamilton County area.
“If you are looking for me, the first place to try is the new Sheridan Historical Society Museum on Tuesday and Friday afternoons,” said Martin.
