1894 Day

Join us in commemorating Darien Library's 128th anniversary on 1894 Day. On May 25th, we will launch our Fourth Annual Day of Giving. 

Stop by the Library courtyard from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or donate online any time that day.

We’ll have:

• Exclusive giveaways for every donor on May 25th
• Crafts
• Balloon art with local performer My Balloon Guy from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
• An ice cream truck from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Our goal is to raise $128,000 in 24 hours from our incredibly generous Friends and community members who continue to enjoy the programs, services, and collections of our Library each and every day, even from home during these unprecedented times. Now more than ever, we need your support to help ensure the long-term vitality of the Library.
