Beginning Tuesday, May 26th, the three libraries of Clearfield County - the Clearfield County Library and Curwensville Branch Library, the DuBois Public Library, and the Joseph & Elizabeth Shaw Public Library, will begin allowing pick up of library materials. The libraries will be offering pick up services outside the library building of requested library materials. Each library will have designated hours for library material pickups. These hours will be reduced from the library's normal operating hours. To find out how you can request items from your library and for more information regarding these limited hours you can visit your library’s website, or Facebook page. You may also call your library for more information.

The Shaw Public Library's Poetry Contest was a huge success! We received 154 entries from 6 school districts and several home school programs. The judges are working hard to determine the winners. All winners will be notified by mail. Our hope is to hold a reception for each age group in keeping with the federal guidelines for social gatherings. More information to follow.
