Annual Report
for the Fiscal Year
July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015

The Childrens Library is

close to our hearts...
magnificent job!

Darien Library is my
home away from home.

You all are a SUPER asset

to the community,
and we are looking forward
to continuing to visit our
second home and family as
often as we can.

From The Director

Alan Kirk Gray

Library Director

This report shows why Darien Library is one of the most successful libraries in the nation.
It is a leader in providing innovative services, a broad and deep collection of books, DVDs,
magazines, technology, programs and research databases, all housed in a welcoming building,
staffed by a warm, friendly and amazingly helpful staff of extraordinary librarians.
The support we receive from you is fundamental to all this. The Town of Darien provides for
the building and its operation, and for staff members and benefits. But your donations to the
Annual Fund provide our collection, our programs, our online resources, and our technology
everything, apart from staff, that makes this library something special. It is because of you that
we can serve the community so well.
Ive asked the Department Heads to summarize last years activities on the following pages
and I think you will be able to see why with the range and complexity of all that they and their
fellow librarians do your support is so valuable.
Thank you for being a Friend of Darien Library.

Public Services

Over the past year, our public services departments have

been asking themselves one question: What next? As our
community changes, and the world around us changes
even faster, everyone in the Library is determined to
have answers at the ready, in many forms. Whether its
through a program, a book, a movie, a class, or working
individually with one of our librarians, weve been striving
to anticipate and meet the many needs of Darien. From
help with online dating, to a newly-enhanced paperback
collection, to family Maker Day, to help with genealogy,
our librarians have spent the year experimenting and
developing new ideas, without ever forgetting our
ongoing commitment to great hospitality and stellar
service. Read on to learn more.

Reader Services
This year at the Welcome Desk, our readers advisors not
only saw an increase in the number of overall questions,
they also answered far more people who wanted help
picking out the right book for them. 3,584 people came
to us this year and asked for book advice! This year, we
also started keeping track of how many patrons reach
out to us to share their opinion on a book, as we love
hearing from patrons and always want that number to
grow. This year, we got 540 patron recommendations.
Reader Services has been working hard to serve as many
readers as possible, and reach out to new readers, while
maintaining the close relationships with patrons that
make our book suggestions valuable.
We also undertook a number of initiatives to further
promote our readers advisory service and to reach
new patrons. We hosted our first annual RA Festival,
an outdoor carnival to promote reading and connect
readers with staff favorites, a popular detective mystery
showcase, and a visit from the Audiobookmobile as it
travelled the East Coast. Our Senior Outreach team
made three visits almost every month to bring Library
programs to patrons who cant make it to the Library.
In addition to programs and outreach, readers advisors
also regularly promote staff picks as well as making a
wide range of displays to showcase the breadth of our
collection over the course of the year.
Our book groups team was even busier than usual this
year, servicing our 130 registered book groups by making
recommendations for great discussion topics, as well as
circulating 4,493 books to them. They also led a number
of programs, including a popular Spring Book Buzz that
showcased popular books coming out through 2015 as
well as an author luncheon.

Collection Development

Collection Development
This year, our patrons borrowed 181,677 adult books,
104,203 DVDs, and 16,207 eBooks/eAudiobooks. In
particular, patrons embraced our new streaming service
hoopla, downloading 2,049 movies and a total of 5,395
movies, music albums, TV episodes, and audiobooks.
This year saw some surprises in Collection Development,
which led us to develop several new collections to meet
new patron needs. To coincide with our outreach at Weed
Beach last summer, we ordered the top five bestselling
trade paperbacks from the indie bookstore bestseller list.
To our surprise, these titles, some of which performed
in an underwhelming fashion as hardcover, took off in
paperback, and continued to perform very well for us
into the fall. We repeated our beach bag purchasing
again this summer, and were again surprised at the
continued appeal that some of these older titles had. To
keep meeting this need as we head into the fall, we have
added even more books to this collection, are re-naming
it the Commuter Collection, and are giving it a place of
prominence on Main Street.
We also added more foreign language materials for
adults to our shelves. To start, this new collection is
primarily Spanish magazines and books, which were
purchased for the caregivers who we see every day in
the library. We grouped this new collection with Spanishlanguage audiobooks. This has proved to be very popular,
as have some foreign-language items in our digital
Hoopla collection, and we are looking to expand this into
a more global collection over the next year, as well as
to incorporate some of our foreign language DVDs and
make sure patrons connect with our global childrens
collection.

Adult Programming

Adult Programming
Donations to the Library supported 552 programs for
adults last year, and provided a little something for
everyone. The most popular programs were two concerts
from local musicians. Acabella serenaded us during our
Annual Holiday Concert to a standing room only crowd.
Later in the year, Gunsmoke provided an audio and
visual journey to the Grand Ole Opry.
A new service offered by the Library this year was
monthly Passport Days. After receiving expedited
service without paying for the extra cost, 1,041 patrons
are now filling up their suitcase for international
adventure! Passports werent the only documents
Darien Library helped with. 255 patrons filed their taxes
at the Library, and 121 had a one-on-one consultation
regarding their resume. We worked in coordination with
the Reference staff to offer a popular series of dropin resume workshops October March. In addition to
proofreading resumes and cover letters, librarians also
directed jobseekers to an excellent selection of online
resources to assist them with interview preparation and
vocational guidance.
Whether community members were looking to learn how
to build an app or for some help with love, Darien Library
had them covered. Technology classes included coding in
Python, how to sell items on eBay, keeping a paperless
office, and even an introduction to online dating. 840
people enjoyed a technology class at the Library in this
past year.
There are few places in this world where you can enjoy
live music, apply for your passport, or learn how to code
under one roof. Engaged, enlightened, and entertained
all in one space!

Childrens Library

Knowledge & Learning Services

Children & Teen Services

Reference services, the cornerstone of the Knowledge

and Learning Services department, fielded over 7,000
in-depth questions this year, covering a broad variety
of topics. Our goals this year included increasing the
visibility and usability of our print and digital collections,
offering resources and programs that reflect community
interests, as well as promoting the services available in
the Business Center.

The Childrens Library continued their commitment

to providing programming that focuses on S.T.E.A.M.
education, highlighting the disciplines of Science,
Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics. The
most attended program for kids this year was Octobers
Maker Day, with 950 people in attendance. This family
event included the Global Cardboard Challenge and
other collaborative S.T.E.A.M. activities for all ages. This
summer, the librarians also delved into new territory by
hosting a full-day S.T.E.A.M. Camp for tween students,
with workshops facilitated by Stepping Stones, the
Museum of Modern Art, the Discovery Museum, and the
New Childrens Museum of Hartford.

Travel, career research, cooking, interior design, and

biographies continue to be among the most popular
areas in our non-fiction book collection.
The number of genealogy questions asked at the
Reference Desk has been on the rise in the past year,
due in large part to our designation as a FamilySearch
Center, bringing in new patrons to look at genealogical
documents on microfilm. Ancestry.com once again
proved to be our most heavily used database, fielding
21,600 individual searches this year. Notary services
continue to be in high demand, increasing 28% over
last year. The seven notaries on staff processed 1,529
documents during the course of the year, helping people
with wills, home closings, and travel documents, to
name but a few. Technology Help Desk staff fielded over
13,500 questions in person during the course of the
year, assisting individuals with computers, software, and
digital resources.

Promoting literacy is also part of the Childrens Librarys

vision, and the launch of the 100 Before One program
this past year encourages new parents to begin their
childs early literacy development by reading 100 books
before their first birthday. This fiscal year, kids read a
total of 233,432 childrens books, which included the
most circulated titles: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long
Haul by Jeff Kinney and Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous
Fashion Boutique by Jane OConnor. As digital book
circulation continues to rise, the Childrens Library and
Teen Room have collaborated in offering the new Digital
e-Reading Room for easy and age-appropriate browsing.
There is still a huge demand for Teen literature, and
this year alone 3,862 Young Adult books circulated on
Main Street. Over 1,500 teens attended library events,
including the weekly For the Makers sessions and the
Python coding class, which was hosted by a Darien High
School student.

Materials Management

Facilities & Materials Management

This year has included many facility improvements
and projects to keep the new Library looking and
feeling new. A complete conversion to LED lighting took
place over a number of months and provides crisper,
more reliable light without the need to frequently
change bulbs and ballasts. It is also expected to
significantly reduce our energy costs and aligns with
the environmentally responsible model of the building.
The first bi-polar ionic air purification system in a public
building in New England was installed here in September.
It removes harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) as
well as particulate matter, odors, and germs from the air.
A glass enclosure was constructed around the interior
return conveyor, which helps to reduce the noise of the
conveyor within the building. The roof had work done to
repair broken and missing slates and to fix some gutter
problems.
Workplace safety was a significant theme this year. The
Darien Police Department provided us with a building
security assessment and followed up with presentations
to all Library staff on workplace safety and security.
In-house staff training was also updated, with a new
Building and Public Services Manual which was presented
in workshops to all staff. Twenty-four staff members
were certified in CPR and use of the Automated External
Defibrillator. On the public side, our meeting room use by
community groups was up 33% over the previous year,
which provided the Library with a 37% increase in room
rental income.

The Materials Management Department ordered

and received 24,049 new items this year, including
books, DVDs, books on CD, and magazines. Maximum
efficiency is required to get each item properly ordered,
cataloged, and on the shelf in a timely manner. We
increased our efficiency this year by becoming full
cataloging partners with our DVD vendor, Midwest
Tape. This means that we now receive our DVDs fully
processed and cataloged, so that they can get to
the shelves more quickly. Inter-library loans were up
this year by 10%. We borrowed 737 books from other
libraries for our patrons, and we loaned out 1477 books
to other libraries around the country for their patrons.
The shelvers in Matman reshelved 457,871 returned
items this year with amazing accuracy and efficiency.
They also pulled 21,348 items from the shelves to fulfill
online requests from Darien Library patrons, which
represents a 10% increase from last year.
Most Popular Childrens Items:

Technology & User Experience

We also completed a renovation of our Business Center

in the lower level. The renewed space was designed
to be brighter, friendlier, and optimized to improve
workflow and our ability to provide customer service. We
also incorporated large format scanning and 3D printing
resources into our a-la-carte service model.
Finally, we capped off our fiscal year with two publicity
awards from the Connecticut Library Association. One
award was for our digital signage and the other was
for a website we launched last year that supports our
Fairfield County Minecraft Server initiative, fcminecraft.
org.

Technology & User Experience

The past year has seen a number of technology
improvements and enhancements at Darien Library. In
addition to network and server upgrades, we switched to
a new phone system that saves us money and allows us
to be more nimble in the way we work and respond to our
users.

We are looking forward to another exciting year full of

new connections!

In the spring, we completed our move to thin clients

throughout the organization for both public and staff.
These new desktops are more reliable, easier to maintain,
and are one hundred times more energy efficient than
traditional desktop PCs.
In January, we gave Main Street a facelift by installing
five new LED panels, replacing the aging plasma digital
signage displays.
This past spring we also launched a new website,
Darienlibrary.tv. The website connects viewers with
Darien Librarys rich video archive. Darienlibrary.tv offers
a clean, modern design, easy-to-navigate functionality,
and a content-rich site experience. It has been designed
to take advantage of new web standards such a
responsive design so that content can be viewed easily
on computers, laptops and mobile devices.
Concurrently with the the debut of darienlibrary.tv, we
launched of a new online web series entitled The Library.
The series, filmed and edited by retired advertising
director, Manny Perez, follows day-to-day life at Darien
Library. There is much more than meets the eye when
you walk into the Library, and the series will give viewers
a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run an
award-winning library system.
