The Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Neighborhood Library near Hodge on 7th is home to thousands of fascinating books. Pick up the latest bestselling novels, or settle down with the biography of one of your favorite historical figures. Small business owners might enjoy an instructional guide for entrepreneurs, while parents might appreciate being able to flip through a few books on child development.

The books are the stars at any library, of course, but they’re hardly alone at this library, where you’ll also find a robust slate of community programming. Younger kids will be delighted to attend family story time each week, while older kids might enjoy one of the library’s arts and crafts sessions.
