Join us in celebrating Darien Library's 129th anniversary on 1894 Day! On Wednesday, May 24th, we will launch our Fifth Annual Day of Giving. We'll have exclusive giveaways for every donor, balloon art, face painting, an ice cream truck, and more.

Our goal is to raise $129,000 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.

On Wednesday, May 24th, you can donate from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. online, or join the festivities at the Library from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
