Can We Count on You? Help Us Help Others
Shaker Library needs your help. Can we count on you? Your city, schools, and library are directly affected by the 2020 Census through population-based federal funding. The Census is used to make decisions on health care, education, housing, local government, manufacturing, and transportation.  

Working to ensure a complete count is fundamentally an issue of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Can we count on  you?
