Darien Library Keeps Building on Success: Annual Meeting 5 PM Saturday
|
Darien Library has a huge circulation of books and other materials, but as people are able to go online for much of that, one of the country’s most successful town libraries has also become a center for children and a place where people get together to meet, work, experience culture, says library Director Alan Gray. “In effect, what we are is the center of the community,” Gray said in an interview days before the library holds its annual meeting at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, when some board members will be elected. Darien author Kristen Harnisch, who wrote much of her most recent novel, The Vintner’s Daughter, at the library, is the featured speaker, and for about 30 minutes library officials will report on what the library has been doing for the past year and what future plans they have. A reception will follow the election of board members.
