Celebrate 1894 Day at Darien Library!
Wednesday, May 21st

Join us in the Library courtyard for a festive afternoon featuring live music by the Caribbean Vibe Steel Drum Band, crafts for all ages, and a visit from Shake Shack!

What is 1894 Day?

In celebration of the Library’s 131st anniversary, we’ve set an ambitious goal: to raise $131,000 in just one day—Wednesday, May 21st.

Why Your Support Matters

1894 Day is a cornerstone of our annual fundraising efforts, and your support is essential in helping us reach our yearly goal.  While the Town of Darien funds salaries and core operations, it’s the Friends of the Library—supporters like you—who make everything else possible: our books and digital collections, public computers and technology, research tools, and the wide range of cultural and educational programming our community counts on.

Your gift powers the Library—and keeps it thriving.
To show our appreciation, we’re offering special anniversary gifts at the following contribution levels:

  • $100+: Insulated Camp Mug
  • $500+: Seaside Rugby Beach Towel
  • $1,894+: Boat & Tote Large with Long Handles
  • $5,000: Receive all the above!

Please make your gift and join us on May 21st to celebrate how far we’ve come—and help ensure a bright future for Darien Library.
