Peacock Keller, a full-service law firm in Washington, Pa., presented its 6th Annual “Off the Shelf...A Celebration of Books” event on Sept. 18, 2013, to support libraries in Pennsylvania’s Washington, Greene, and Fayette counties. Through the event, Peacock Keller helped to raise $30,000 this year and more than $160,000 over the last six years for 20 libraries.
Travel was the theme at this year’s Off the Shelf event, which was held in Canonsburg, Pa. The evening featured a presentation by Keith Bellows, senior vice president and editor-in-chief of National Geographic Travel Media and the editor-in-chief of National Geographic Traveler.
Off the Shelf attendees chose a book about travel and used it to inspire their table decorations at the event. A panel of judges bestowed special awards upon the tables with the most creative application of the theme. One table also received a “People’s Choice Award,” determined by donor participant voting.

“Peacock Keller is dedicated to supporting our local libraries, which are meccas for education, learning and the arts in the community,” said Doug Nolin, Peacock Keller Managing Partner and Master of Ceremonies. “Proceeds from Off the Shelf, as in past years, will help fund the creation and maintenance of a regional ‘one-card’ network.”
The one-card network connects the libraries within the three counties into one system. It enables every resident of the three-county region to visit any of those libraries using only one library card, increasing convenience and accessibility for library customers while saving money and increasing efficiency for the library system.
