Darien Library works with local educators to support and extend the school curriculum by providing print and online materials for homework help and to continue to foster a love of reading in children. Each year, librarians visit local school libraries and classrooms where we share stories and talk about books with the students and teachers.
In May and June we visit the Elementary Schools:
Each Winter, our scheduled visits are to:
Nursery and Preschools in Darien are invited to participate too! Young students are treated to a fun session of storytelling, reading aloud, flannel board stories and more. Librarians read books of their choice or based on a theme requested by teachers. A typical visit is tailored to the students’ age levels and ranges from 30 to 45 minutes. Visiting the public library is a great way to supplement your curriculum and expose your students to all the services available in public libraries.
Please contact the Children's Room for further information or to schedule your next visit to Darien Library.
