Peacock Keller-Presented 5th Annual "Off the Shelf... A Celebration of Books" Event Raises More Than $30,000 to Benefit Southwestern Pennsylvania Libraries

Washington, Pa. Law Firm Supports Area Libraries and Regional 'One-Card' Network

2012-10-25
DOYLESTOWN, PA, October 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Peacock Keller, a full-service law firm in Washington, Pa., presented its 5th Annual "Off the Shelf...A Celebration of Books" event in September 2012 which was attended by nearly 300 community members. Through the Off the Shelf event, Peacock Keller helped to raise more than $30,000 for 20 libraries in Southwestern Pennsylvania's Washington, Greene and Fayette counties. Held at the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh/Southpointe in Canonsburg, Pa., the unique evening of entertainment featured a presentation by Rolling Stone Magazine Contributing Editor, Anthony DeCurtis; music by The Dan Baker Group; and much more.

With music as the theme for the evening, attendees chose a book about music around which they decorated their tables, vying for special awards based upon the creativity of their displays as determined by a panel of judges. In addition, one table received "the People's Choice Award," determined by participant voting. A Chinese and live auction rounded out the night's entertainment, helping to boost the total amount raised for area libraries through the event during the past five years to more than $130,000.

"Peacock Keller is dedicated to giving back to the communities where our employees, clients and colleagues live, work and socialize. Our public libraries serve our communities in such as vital way as hubs of education and learning - all while supporting the arts," said Peacock Keller Managing Partner Douglas R. Nolin. "As in past years, proceeds from Off the Shelf will help to fund the creation and distribution of a Regional 'One-Card' Network."

The One-Card Network is a program established to ensure that every resident may go to any library in our three-county region and use only one library card. This system is designed to increase convenience and accessibility for library visitors and add cost savings and efficiencies for the libraries.

To support literacy in Washington, Greene and Fayette Counties or to learn more about the Off the Shelf event, contact a local library or call Jamie Anders with Peacock Keller at 724-222-4520.
