ICYMI: Darien, Ya Gonna Let Fairfield Win this Showdown with Darien Library?

Editor’s note: Here’s a fun story from Monday that we enjoyed and that you may have missed with everything else going on in recent days, so here it is again:

The image posted with this is what Fairfield Library will have to display on its Welcome Desk and social media accounts for a week, after it loses the Fitbit challenge it so foolishly posed to Darien Library.

Unless you, Dear Reader, don’t help out and do something fit with Our Library.

In which case, Darien will ignominiously lose and have to post a similar sign,whichyouknowwouldbeunthinkable.

So let’s get our butts in gear, folks.

Here’s the Darien Library announcement:

Aslan and the White Witch, Frodo and Sauron, Harry Potter and Voldemort. Epic battles are about to come a lot closer to home. Darien Library was challenged to a Fitbitshowdown by the folks at Fairfield Public Library and we want YOU to be involved!

What’s the challenge? From Monday, March 2nd until end of day Friday, March 6th your Darien Librarians will be competing against the Librarians of Fairfield Public Library to see which Library can rack up the most steps. We will obviously crush them.

What are the stakes? When we win, Fairfield Public Library must display the below sign on their Welcome Desk and social media accounts for one week.

What can we do to show our unwavering support? Get moving with us! During the first week of March, join us for one of these active events.

Monday, March 2nd through Friday, March 6th at 3 p.m.
