After decades of dedicated service, Sheridan County Public Library System Children’s Librarian, Michelle Havenga will retire on August 31 — 40 years and one month after she was first hired.

The Sheridan Press published a wonderful story that’s well worth the read on Michelle and her upcoming retirement.

Michelle was well-known in the Wyoming library community and well-appreciated for her energy, joy, and sense of humor. Over the course of her career, she has inspired countless Sheridan County children to love reading and libraries.

All are invited to the library’s retirement party for Michelle on Friday, August 20 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Fulmer Library at 335 W. Alger Street in Sheridan.
