Sheridan Commission OK’s Gap Funding for Library

The Sheridan County Commission considered a request from the Sheridan County Library for gap funding.

Amy Long, Sheridan County Library Executive Director, came before the commission to ask for funding as a short-term loan.

Long said once the invoices are paid, they can submit them for reimbursement to the State Library, who will then submit it to the State Treasury for payment.

The library would then pay the county back by the end of December.

The commission voted to loan the roughly $679,000 to the library.

According to discussion, this will require a budget amendment which will need to be completed by June 30, 2027.
