College of Marin

The library in Kentfield recently completed the transformation of an underutilized reference area into an event room. The newly renovated “William Keith Room” features paintings donated to the college by William Keith, a Scottish-American painter famous for his California landscapes and his close friendship with John Muir. The library’s vintage yellow Herman Miller chairs are also a highlight of the space.

The library is hosting multiple events this semester including a Friday Afternoon Author Series with the Emeritus Students of College of Marin and a One Book, One Marin lecture on At Night We Walk in Circles by Daniel Alarcon. When not in use for events, the William Keith room is utilized for quiet study and reading. Check out the before and after pictures below.
