Join the Larkspur Library for a special edition of the book club to discuss Wes Moore’s book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates. Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question. In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world. This event is made possible by the Friends of the Larkspur Library. Join today!

The Larkspur Library and Bolinas Museum are excited to host a talk by Jeff Gunderson titled Learning in the Grove of Akademus. After World War II the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA) in San Francisco (later renamed the San Francisco Art Institute) hired renowned photographer Ansel Adams to establish one of the first fine art photography departments in the United States. The caliber of teachers and guest instructors assembled under the new directorship of Douglas MacAgy was unmatched, making the CFSA one of the most avant-garde art schools of its time. Longtime San Francisco Art Institute Librarian and resident historian, Jeff Gunderson, will discuss the founding of the California School of Fine Art’s groundbreaking photography program in the 1940s and the school’s post-war milieu of avant-garde experimentation. This Zoom lecture was made possible by The Friends of the Larkspur Library.
