Darien Library Celebrates its 129th Anniversary with 1894 Day!
May 24, 2023
Darien Library will celebrate its 129th anniversary on Wednesday, May 24 with 1894 Day, a fun and festive annual day of giving. From midnight to 11:59 p.m., the Library aims to raise $129,000 in honor of 129 years of service to the community. All funds raised on 1894 Day will be dedicated directly to Library resources. Festivities will take place in the Library courtyard throughout the day, including crafts for children, balloon art from 2:30 to 4:30, face painting from 3 to 5, and an ice cream truck from 3:30 to 4:30. There will also be special giveaways at suggested contribution levels, including exclusive Darien Library car magnets, tote bags, and Turkish towels.
The Library is asking the entire community for their support on May 24. Donors may give in person in the Library courtyard or online at any time on May 24 at darienlibrary.org/donate. Darien Library is a true public-private partnership between the Town of Darien, which pays for salaries and operating expenses related to the building, and the Friends of the Library, whose generosity funds all of the books, audiobooks, e-Books, computers, technology, research databases, and the Library’s impressive range of cultural and entertainment programs. For more information, please contact the Library’s Administrative Office at 203-669-5220.
