In response to the Covid-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty The Commons Foundation (TCF) has reduced the size of the TCF Capital Campaign to $5M and launched the TCF Annual Campaign to sustain the current library’s operations.
TCF’s mission is to fund, and build and sustain with the City, a modern Larkspur Library and public square for the communities of Larkspur, Greenbrae and Kentfield at The Commons on Rose Lane.
TCF Capital Campaign will raise $5 million to help the City of Larkspur build the first phase of a new modern library in Larkspur.
TCF Annual Campaign for 2020-21 will raise funds to sustain and improve the current library’s physical and virtual materials, programs, technology and services.
