Breaking ground
Groundbreaking for the new library will be March 11. We expect Harold W. McGraw, Jr. to be there to take the first shovel full of dirt, as he did in 1956 for the current building and in 1972 for the first expansion. George Wyper, our immediate Past President, has often been quoted as saying that Harold is the giant on whose shoulders we all stand. Certainly, no one has done more for the Darien Library than Harold. I've had fun this week looking through our archives to find photos of the 1956 and 1972 groundbreakings.
