A book circle to connect as a community in a meaningful way and create a safe space to expand and deepen our understanding of the world around us. Registration required.

Join us each month in reading the chosen book and coming together in meaningful conversation that expands understanding, self-reflection, learning. and openness.

Together, we will share perspectives in safe and respectful ways inspired by books that provide expansive experiences that support the transformation of our ways of knowing, being, and living in community.

In October, we will be reading, Being Mortal, Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande.  "Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should." -Publisher.

About the branch

The Library was designed by the firm of Bull, Stockwell, and Allen. The architectural style is that of the 19th century railroad yard in Tiburon. 
 
The site is part of the landfill of the 1890s done to create the railroad yard. Windows frame views of the marsh lands and Old St. Hilary's Open Space preserve. 
 
The expanded library was designed by Brown Reynolds Watford Architecture and added approximately 9,000 square feet, bringing the total size of the library to about 19,500 square feet.
