This spring, Darien Library will host a new series for students of all ages and their families: "College Admissions 101: Resources for Families," a two-part panel series during the month of April.
There are so many things to consider during the college application process -- the essay, the interview, SATs, and finding ways to stand out among all the rest. The panel discussions will offer many tips to help with preparation.
