All the children's librarians would like to thank everyone who participated in the summer reading program this year at Darien Library. You all have done a tremendous job with reading this summer, as well as completing the quests in the summer reading passports. It was awesome to see so many new and familiar faces this summer in the Children's Library. Congratulations!!

Here are some remarkable facts from this year's program:

- Over 1160 kids signed up for the Summer Reading Program.

- Holmes Elementary School had the most participants this year.

- We counted a total of 1331 raffle entries for July and August, which means over 2662 books were read by the Summer Reading Club members.

- 1000 books were read by the Read to Me Club members.

A big thank you to author Gordon Korman for visiting the Library last evening for the Summer Reading Club Finale Party! Each attendee received a signed copy of Swindle by Gordon Korman, which is a 2011 Nutmeg Book Award Nominee.
