Join Markos Kounalakis for an in-depth discussion on our state’s strengths, challenges, and its potential to redefine global dynamics.

California, the most populous state in the union, plays an outsized role in the global economy and imagination. California is home to technological innovation and the world’s most valuable companies, and it dominates in the field of public higher education.

California also sparks the world’s imagination as the home to dream factories, the entertainment industry, and instantly recognizable celebrities. If our state were a sovereign nation, California would boast the fifth largest economy in the world!

In this climate of political and social unrest, Californians are at the heart of the discussion on the global role that our state plays in the international system. How does it interact with sovereign states, promote its commercial interests, protect its critical infrastructure, reside in cyberspace, secure its borders, and assert its values and preferences onto the global stage?

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deep into California’s journey toward global prominence. Reserve your seat today and join Markos Kounalakis, Ph.D., a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford, to explore Superpower California!

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.
