Thanks to Friends of the Shaker Library for its sustained support for summer reading.
In May 2018, taxpayers passed a 1.9-mill operating levy and some of those funds will be used to renovate the library into a building that will allow easier access for the entire community with flexible spaces for reading, research, and computing. We are excited to offer our community a newly renovated library for the 21st century. Read more about our renovation plans.
Forward Together is a process to develop a forward-looking strategy for current and future community facilities. The City, libraries and schools are embarking on a journey to create a vision for community facilities in which we are being good stewards of limited resources, leveraging our partnerships and continuing our legacy of working together to think creatively about the future of our civic assets.
Here are your opportunities to join us.

What’s in Local History?
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.
