The Shepherd Park/Juanita E. Thornton Library will be closed Saturday, Apr. 26 and Sunday, Apr. 27 for necessary repairs to the HVAC system. This page will be updated with any service changes as they are available.

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.
