I was so impressed with everything about the Darien Library. Not that the Stamford Library and Norwalk libraries are bad or anything. It’s just that Darien does everything so incredibly well!

We want to thank Mallory Arents, the head of Adult Programming, for her foresight and wisdom for organizing these and other types of tech activities there.
Thanks go to the students as well. This was a bright and enthusiastic class. It was so great to meet so many interesting people!
