Mr. Duff is so excited to be in his third year at Hindley Elementary School! Previous to coming to Darien, Mr. Duff worked at a K-8 school in Norwalk, as well as at a middle school in Danbury. He has worked in school libraries since 2010.
Mr. Duff likes to read the newspaper every morning, jogging for exercise, and hanging out with his daughter Charlotte and son Carson.

Each class has a time during the 6-day cycle to visit the Global Learning Commons for book checkout.
Students are also welcome at the start of school, during the first block (8:25-9:10), to look for books independently and/or pickup their "Savers" if they forgot to return their books during their last Library class.
"Savers" are kept for one school day and then are put back on the shelf.
K-2 students are encouraged to bring back books each week so a new one can be checked out.
3-5 student books are often longer and might require extra time to finish. Students may keep the book(s) until they are done reading. If another student requests the book, we will contact individual students.
K-2 students are allowed to checkout one book at a time. They are due back by their next Library class.
3-5 students are first allowed to checkout one book at a time. They are due back by their next Library class.
However, if by January students are showing responsibility returning books on time, students can them start to checkout/have out two books at any one time.
We hope all books will be returned so they can be shared and enjoyed by our Hindley readers! If a book is overdue by a month, a notice will be sent home to request assistance locating the book. If the book cannot be located or if it has been damaged, a replacement fee will be discussed with the parents.
