ShapeView - It is a FREE ESRI shape files (*.shp), MapInfo interchange (*.mif) and *.dxf files viewer. Using this utility you can view *.shp files (ESRI shape files) and *.mif files (MapInfo interchange). No other files are needed. Source codes are available.
Are there any libraries that I can use to read a shp/shx/dbf/sbx set of files? I mainly need to extract some polygons but something that lets me extract any data that I want would be awesome.

To use the Python Shapefile Library download shapefile.py:http://code.google.com/p/pyshp/source/browse/trunk/shapefile.py
Place it in your working directory or in your Python site-packages directory and you are ready to go.
Just type 'import shapefile' in your interpreter or python script and follow usage examples and documentation at the PyShp project on Google Code.

GDAL includes the OGR library which supports shapefile I/O. However, the installation process for this package in Windows is not very straightforward.

Also PySAL could be of some help. Reads shape files:
And plenty of others geo related formats.

Shapelib is also a good choice; it has c, c++, c# and python interface:http://shapelib.maptools.org/
and pyshapelib here:http://ftp.intevation.de/users/bh/pyshapelib/
