Story Selections:
This month we’re reading the following two stories from The Best American Short Stories 2023 anthology:
1. The Master Mourner by Benjamin Ehrlich
2. The Company of Others by Sara Freeman
Both authors included notes on their short stories on pages 290-292.
Copies of the anthology are available in MARINet, Link+, and Hoopla (ebook & audiobook).
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.
