Elaine and Larry Lange 

 

A the end of 2018, the Shorewood Public Library learned that Larry and Elaine (Hafemeister) Lange, long-time Shorewood residents and library patrons, made a generous 5.5 million dollar bequest to help our library flourish for generations to come. We are truly grateful for this support which will strengthen our ability to support the needs of the Village of Shorewood and serve our community with resources for lifelong learning and engagement.

 

We are so thankful that the Langes, who regularly used our library's resources and felt they gained so much from it, decided to leave us such a generous gift. They have made a significant long-term impact on our ability to serve the community!
