If you haven’t signed your child up for our Summer Reading program, sign up online or in the Children’s Library. Every child who registers will receive a FREE book! Registration is on a first come, first-served basis. Programs are open to Darien residents, those employed full time in Darien, or non-residents who are contributors to the Darien Library Annual Campaign at the $300 level.

Discuss a short story, get help with your resume, watch an acclaimed movie (or two) with a friend, learn about Beethoven, and for kids: play with legos or video games, decorate a cookie; and for the whole family: sing along at a musical performance. — This information is from a Darien Library newsletter (also posted here). Highlight This Week

Get your summer chills on with one of the year’s best and most scary movies, “A Quiet Place.” Starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, they are a family who have to live completely silent lives. If they make a sound, they will be hunted by the unknown looking for them.

Darien Library keeps providing the town with interesting events, and here are the latest for this week, including an author visit, music for kids and families, classes and presentations on different topics, including the start of a four-week series on Beethoven. — This information is from a Darien Library newsletter (also posted here). Highlighted This Week

Join us for the highlight of our Adult Summer Reading program with author Beatriz Williams. She’ll discuss her new book, The Summer Wives, which my very small colleague Virginia calls her “new favorite summer read.” We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, July 12 at 7 p.m.

We are fortunate to be home to many local writers. They found each other through our Writer’s Workshop and writing classes; on Tuesday night we celebrate them! On Tuesday, June 26 at 7 p.m. these writers will give a reading of their works. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from writers before they hit the big time.
