Library Building Program
The Belvedere-Tiburon Library, the Town of Tiburon, and the City of Belvedere have begun planning for an expansion of the existing library. The goal of the expansion is to create new spaces that will allow the Library to better fulfill its mission as a learning, technology, and cultural center. Keep an eye on this page for the latest news, documents, meeting schedules, and volunteer information.

Conceptual Ideas for the Library Expansion
At the recommendation of a community based Building Team, the Belvedere-Tiburon Library Agency voted its preference to place the expansion on the location of the current parking lot and to construct a new parking lot in the undeveloped land behind the Library (also known as the "Civic Connection" plan).  The Library is in the first or conceptual planning phase of the project.  Conceptual designs are not final plans but are only as titled, a concept and possible look.  The Town of Tiburon is overseeing the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) and meetings will be held in September and October.  Linked to below are a conceptual site plan and exterior view.
