The Larkspur City Council unanimously passed two resolutions on Sept. 19 that will significantly help the vision of a new Larkspur library and community center come to life. Both resolutions, which include a request for design proposals and a future ballot measure for a tax bond, will help move the funding and planning processes forward.

“What was more embarrassing than an empty lot where a new library is supposed to be?" A peeling, faded, several-years-old sign heralding the project. The “Future Home of the Larkspur Library and Community Center” sign was erected a few years after the Doherty Drive lot was set aside by the Rose Lane housing development in 2010. It announced 2015 planning meetings and presided over the 2.5-acre site for years as a symbol of the stalled project until being quietly removed more than a year ago.
