The Friends of the Sherwood Library have released a 2006 calendar of historical photos and have mounted an exhibit entitled "Sherwood Advertising Memorabilia". The thirteen month calendar, with eighteen photos of the Sherwood area, makes an ideal Christmas present.  The month of  December 2005 was created by using a "Christmas Greetings from Sherwood Ohio" postcard view.  A holiday verse was added to the page for those who would like to use the calendar as a combined card and gift.  Other months reveal such visual delights as Main (Harrison) Street from 1905, the village band from 1909 and the 1918 Decoration Day celebration.

"Sherwood Advertising Memorabilia" showcases a wide range of items including calendars, pens, pencils, penknives, mugs, thermometers, a license plate holder and a golf ball .  These advertising artifacts all prominently display the name of a Sherwood business and were originally promotional give-aways.  Many names are familiar and are active community businesses or were, within recent memory.  Others, such as the 1948 Lighting Rod Mutual Fire Protective Association calendar, with Devore Insurance Agency as local representative, are no longer in existence.  The Sherwood State Bank is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2005 and a number objects from this institution are on display.  The exhibit will run through October and has been made possible with material loaned by Dianne Grimm, John Walk, Dave and Illa Rush and The Sherwood State Bank.

The 2006 Calendars are available while supplies last for a $6.50 donation at the Sherwood Library, The Sherwood State Bank and Village Food Emporium. A limited number of the previously published Sherwood Scrapbooks, Volume I and II are also available.  The hours of the Sherwood Library are Monday and Wednesday, noon to 8 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
