Donate Books by Shaker Authors
We gratefully accept donations of published works by authors who have lived in or are from Shaker Heights. We will place a non-circulating copy in our Shaker Authors Collection, housed in the Moreland Local History Room. We also appreciate receiving copies for our circulating collection.
Donate Local History Materials
The Shaker Library Local History Collection is a repository of materials related to the history of Shaker Heights. We appreciate donations from members of the community.
Items that have been donated to the Collection include school brochures and concert programs, yearbooks, minutes of community organization meetings, class photographs, local election campaign materials, Shaker business memorabilia, and many other items that help us tell the story of Shaker Heights.
If you bring us materials, please include your contact information so we can send you a letter of thanks. Thank you!
Donated materials will be included in the Local History Collection under the guidelines of the Local History Collection Development Policy.
Donate Local History Funds
The Local History Collection is supported in part by the Sheldon “Skip” Baumoel Fund and the Walter N. Larson Trust. Your financial donation will help sustain the Local History Collection, and allow us to purchase much-needed equipment, supplies, and materials.
