Darien Library announces the arrival and installation of a Bloomberg Terminal in the Cheswick Finance Center. The Cheswick Finance Center, given in memory of Richard R. Cheswick, is located on the second floor of the library.

The Bloomberg Professional service is the interactive, financial information network that is the core business for Bloomberg, a leading information service for global financial markets. Available 24 hours a day in over 100 countries, the service integrates data, real-time and historical pricing, news, analytics, multimedia reports, and e-mail into a single platform. It is used by market professionals around the world to make informed decisions and to complete transactions — in any currency and in a way that is meaningful, accurate, and consistent. At least 250,000 terminals are used by investment professionals around the world.

The Bloomberg Terminal is funded by contributions to the Friends of the Darien Library and is a significant addition to the library’s electronic resources. Whether you are a job seeker looking for openings or an individual investor, your portfolio of stocks, bonds, and/or commodities, the Bloomberg Terminal has something to offer.

Although it is available for use by all library patrons, on Mondays the Bloomberg Terminal is reserved from 7 a.m. to noon for use by the library’s recently formed Mondays at Seven professional networking group. At all other times, any library patron may use the terminal. Reservations for advance use may be made by Darien residents and non-resident Contributors to the Library at the $300 annual level. To place a reservation, contact the library’s Knowledge and Learning Services staff at 669-5236 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The library maintains a printed list of codes needed to search on the Bloomberg Terminal. Online help is also available via chat and/or cell phone.

Darien Library is at 1441 Post Road.
