Public invited to attend dedication, holiday open house
The Sidney Public Library will hold a dedication of its new circulation desk, purchased in memory of Martha Hammond Walker, during its annual Christmas open house on Dec. 19. The new custom-made desk was purchased with funds from Walker’s estate. It is more user-friendly and provides more storage for the library staff then the previous desk, which had been in use for nearly 45 years. The dedication of the new circulation desk will be held at 11 a.m. Dec. 19 at the library.
Walker, a Cheyenne County native, donated the funds to the Sidney Public Library Foundation. “Martha was a very giving lady and wanted to help her community,” said Doris Jensen, Sidney Public Library Director. “The Sidney Public Library Board and staff are very pleased to have received this gift.”
The library will hold its holiday open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 19. The public is welcome to attend the dedication, as well as participate in the open house and book sale that will be held at the library that same day during regular library hours. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
