History

The Marin County Free Library was established in 1926 by the County's Board of Supervisors. In 1927, Muriel Wright opened its first branch in the basement of what was at the time the County Courthouse in San Rafael.[2]

Funding

The library is funded predominantly by a parcel tax levied on properties within its jurisdiction.
