At the heart of the Shaw community, the Shaw/Watha T. Daniel Neighborhood Library serves as a knowledge hub and community gathering place for a diverse and growing neighborhood. Shaw is located directly across from a metro station, just blocks away from historic Howard University, and situated at the intersection of 7th Street and Rhode Island Avenue -- blocks from the Convention Center. The Shaw library serves a wide ranging population demographic of both generational Washingtonians and one-time visitors.
