— an announcement from Darien Library
Today at 5:30 p.m., in moody weather:
One more convenience for Darien Library users has just appeared near the parking lot entrance— a standard U.S. Postal Service mailbox. The mailbox is located behind the drive-up book drop-off structure. (The library’s name for this is: “the 24/7 Book Return” — well, what would you call it?) If you’re still confused about the location, perhaps one of the pictures attached to this story will help. If you go to the fountain, you can’t miss it. A notice posted on the mailbox says mail will be picked up from it at 3 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays.
Will the last person leaving Darien please turn off the lights? If anything more closes in or around town, they’ll start rolling up the sidewalks: The latest closures to be announced are a Friday night (Aug. 7) shutdown of Darien Library and a weeklong closure of the Darien Senior Activities Center (Aug. 17 to 21.)
You may have noticed the highway traffic or even in-town traffic lightening up, and you may have heard about the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles closing for next week to do a computer upgrade. A major paving project on Interstate 95 is also ongoing at night.
