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.
The way Shaker Library uses its space and resources to support our community is critical for our success. We need your comments and observations to help guide our plans for the renovation of the Main Library building. Please drop in any time through Sunday, August 18 and share your thoughts with us.
Carolyn Steiner and her welcoming cadre of volunteers invite newcomers to FREE English as a Second Language classes every Tuesday from 7- 8:30 PM at Main Library. Read about the program, which was featured in Shaker Life magazine here.
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.
Shaker Library, Friends of the Shaker Library, and the Shaker Schools Foundation present Susan Orlean, SHHS Class of 1973 and author of the bestseller, The Library Book.

She has contributed articles to many magazines including Vogue, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and Outside. Her 1998 book, The Orchid Thief, was made into the movie, Adaptation.
