To the editor:

The Darien Library’s ninth annual Fundraising Gala — the Secret Garden Gala — was held on Saturday, June 3, and was a fantastic night enjoyed by all. Thank you to everyone in the community who came out to support the Library and its services to our town. We raised more than $100,000 and all proceeds will support the Library’s purchase of books, DVDs, technology, research databases, and the many programs offered for children, teens and adults. A very special thanks to our sponsors who continue to invest in the Library and the community of Darien:
