DARIEN Library officials said the facility will be closed Thursday due to staff members testing positive for COVID-19. The library will be closed through at least March 10.
The library tweeted Thursday morning that it would be closed in order to complete contact tracing and sanitizing.
“The health and safety of our community and patrons is our top priority,” the tweet said.
Director Kiera Parrott said the library has four cases among the staff and said she is meeting with the Darien Department of Health on Thursday for guidance on when it may be safe to reopen.

DARIEN The state’s rollout process continues to frustrate some in Darien, as firefighters have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Though other towns included their fire departments in Phase 1A, Darien’s three volunteer fire departments Darien, Noroton and Noroton Heights are not classified as medical first responders, thus currently do not qualify to get the shot.
