Here you’ll find information on the proposed new modern library, community center and public square. Collectively known as The Commons, these vital community resources will be located on the corner of Rose Lane and Doherty Drive, Larkspur. The location is ideal, being close to five schools and a short stroll to the Lark Theater and downtown businesses. The vision is to build The Commons in three phases, as funds allow. This promises to be a dynamic hub for all the communities in the greater Ross Valley. Please explore our site to learn about our vision and how you can get involved.
TCF has launched two separate gift matching programs for 2022: the Community Match for $1,000 up to $49,999 gifts; and the Lerner-Berkemeier Challenge for gifts $50,000 and above. These two programs enable donors to immediately double their gift through the sponsored match, and potentially double it again with the State Matching Grant.
We are at an inflection point in regards to funding and building a new modern library:
This inflection point is the most positive position TCF as been in since we started in 2018, though it still means that we need to raise $5 Million by the end of 2022.
