Join readers across our community. Reading brings us together!

Shaker Library has joined many libraries across North America to remove barriers to access to the library. Why have we gone fine free? It’s good for our community. Overdue fines are not effective. It’s fiscally responsible.

Shaker Heights Public Library is among twenty-two public libraries from eighteen states selected to be part of the Yiddish Book Center’s “Coming to America” Reading Groups for Public Libraries program.

Helping a child to enjoy reading is one of the most important things a parent can do for a child.  Your library provides safe spaces, story times, access to books, art activities, and children’s rooms where they have opportunities to role play, build, and discover—all of the things that foster a child’s development. Visit us often.
