Larkspur resident Joe Jennings has stepped up to do what nobody has been able to do despite 50 years of trying: build a new city library. Jennings says he envisioned the project’s potential when walking St. Francis Way, from Assisi to Rome, with his wife Marisa. Along the ancient route, every town he entered had a piazza where the old, young and in-between gathered.

Task force kicks off library fundraising A citizen-led task force has been formed to raise money for a new library and community center in Larkspur. The Commons at Larkspur is a proposed project on 2.4 acres of city-owned land on Rose Lane. “It is a very exciting opportunity for our community to create a new gathering place for people, programs and resources to enrich our citizens and grow the sense of Larkspur Village,” Mayor Ann Morrison said in a statement.
