Look what we bought for the Library!

Friendly News December 2018

Thanks to the support of all our Friends, we have purchased a BRAND NEW VAN for the Library. Friends funded the original van and it had become worn and rusted. We are most thankful for your support. The van is due to arrive in February and we plan to wrap it in a colorful decal to identify it as a uniquely Shaker Library van and a gift from Friends of the Shaker Library.

Your memberships have helped to make this gift possible. Since we have spent our reserves on the van, we offer you an opportunity to help the Friends keep rolling along. Please consider a gift to the Friends above and beyond your membership dues. Thank you for your continued generosity. We wish you a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

NEVER-ENDING BOOK SALES

Thanks to our volunteers who sort books weekly at Main Library we have robust Never-Ending Book Sales at both Main Library and Woods Branch.

Browse and buy. You might find a perfect gift. You might consider purchasing a book and leaving it on your guest's nightstand to read and/or take home. It is a unique way to welcome visitors to your home.

LITTLE FREE LIBRARY

Thanks to the efforts of Friends Secretary Tamar Calland, the Friends has purchased and registered a Little Free Library for our neighbors in the Moreland area. Thanks also to Kim Harris with Shaker African American Mothers Support (SAMS) group who will work with Stephanie Jonas and the Friends to supply books for the little library.

The Little Free Library has been painted and is ready for installation. More details are forthcoming.
