FY 2017 Annual Report CREATING FLEXIBLE SPACES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Public libraries are fundamental for a democracy in which learning is available to all. Dear Friends,

Twenty years ago, the Belvedere Tiburon community came together after OFFICERS a decade of planning to build a library that would serve as an important John Scarborough, President community hub and educational space for current and future generations. Douglas Norby, Vice President How fortunate we are that they achieved their goal! Today, people of all Barry Moss, Treasurer generations gather at our library to enjoy vibrant programming, discuss the latest books, and expand their horizons – all in a place that fosters human Jannette Mussche, Secretary connection.

But so much has changed since that time. When our library was last DIRECTORS renovated, Bill Clinton was President, books were only available in physical Gary Cookhorn form, and self-driving cars were a thing of futuristic novels.

Wyman Harris The library has certainly done its best to keep pace with these rapid changes Judy Huret by offering new programming and access to the latest technologies that include 3D printing, robot-building, and virtual reality experiences. John Kunzweiler Whitney Lee But the building itself is quite literally overflowing. Programming has jumped to over 1,000 offerings per year, our community has grown by 10 percent, and Rachael Ong the library has been ranked among the highest in California for circulation, Amanda Rickel program attendance, and visits per capita.

Lori Runnfeldt Our beloved library has reached capacity, and just as those who came before Jeff Slavitz us had the foresight to bring us the library we know and love today, we must again come together to plan for the future. We hope you will join us to Elizabeth Wilhelm continue this legacy by creating a truly modern library for future generations. Afsaneh Zolfaghari While we have no way of knowing what the next 20 years will bring, we do know that providing a flexible space for that which we cannot predict is an essential service to future generations.

We have spent the last several years working with the library to develop a modernization and expansion proposal. We are looking forward to moving this into the public eye to strengthen our partnership with the community as we move forward on this project.
