Library Trustees Alex Eising, Tara Ochman, Tammy Sload and Sue Weaver, along with Auction Chair Allegra Erickson are excited about the street fair theme and are planning great new auction items and surprises.

“We are looking forward to a night full of fun and festivities,” said Tara. “It is one of the best nights in town, as our community comes out to celebrate and supports the idea that libraries are for everyone!”

All funds raised from the event will be dedicated to expanding library resources, including purchasing new books, technology, and supporting programs and guest speakers.

As Board of Trustees President Tad Smith explains, “The Library is an invaluable asset to our community. It is only with the support of our Friends that we can purchase the books and offer the programs that we have all come to enjoy.”

Party on Post is sponsored by David Harvey Fine Jewelers, Darien Rowayton Bank, New Canaan/Darien Magazine and Two Roads Brewing Company.

Tickets are currently available for purchase at $150. To buy tickets and for more information visit this Web page on the library’s website.
