Piper Park in Larkspur is glowing for the holidays this year. For the first time, trees throughout the park will shine with colorful lights for the yuletide season. The display will be on from 5 to 8 p.m. every day through Jan. 6. “It’s really pretty,” said Margarita Glazunov, who walks her dog daily through the park. “I’ve lived here for about 55 years and the city didn’t ever do this before. I think it’s wonderful.”

Larkspur officials have agreed to hire a firm to manage planning, design and construction oversight for the new city library. The City Council authorized the city manager on Wednesday to retain Kitchell Capital Expenditure Managers Inc. of Sacramento on a contract not to exceed $1.4 million.
