Calling all Laker Fans! Stop by the library to listen to the story "Cheers for Laker Louie" by author, Strasburg native, and Lake Land College Director of Student Life, Lisa Shumard-Shelton.

The Lake Land College mascot Laker Louie is featured in a brand-new children’s book, “Cheers for Laker Louie.”

Written by Director of Student Life Lisa Shumard-Shelton and illustrated by Business Adjunct Brett Sawyer, the book follows Laker Louie as he tries out for various Lake Land College athletic teams.

“Cheers for Laker Louie” is a follow-up to “High Fives for Laker Louie,” which was also written and illustrated by Shumard-Shelton and Sawyer respectively.
