January 10th, 2010 will mark the one year anniversary since the New Darien Library opened its doors. To commemorate our fascinating journey leading up to the occasion, take an interactive media tour with the "Darien Library Media" application on the Microsoft Surface table in the Children's Library. This hands-on activity lets you explore some of our many photo sets from the Darien Library on Flickr, through zooming, resizing, and rotating, as well as viewing videos from our Feature Films Channel on Vimeo.

Photo sets include:

  • History of the Library
  • History of the Heron
  • Groundbreaking 2007
  • Building the New Darien Library
  • The Finished Building
  • Our Grand Opening
  • The Heron's New Home
  • ...and more!

So stop on by, and enjoy this fun, social and exciting experience like you’ve never had before.
