Whether you’ve experimented with virtual reality systems or not, here is your chance to try out one of our many games. Fly around the planet and visit distant locations with Google Earth; step into a virtual work world with “Job Simulator;” or solve puzzles as you interact with a cool virtual world with “Retne.”
Reserve your place by stopping by a reference desk or calling the library at (415) 485-3321
You have the option of signing-up to use the Vive, or Oculus Go virtual reality systems. Which should you choose?
The Oculus Go may be a good choice for those who haven’t experienced VR before and want a simple, fun first experience. With the Go you’ll be able to turn your head to see 360-degrees around you, but walking towards something will not bring you any closer to it. In contrast, with the Vive you are able to explore the full digital space that you see. However, the Vive may take a little more time to learn to use.
This session has been canceled. Please drop in to our location at the Northgate Mall any time to use our Virtual Reality headsets.

Bats are an important part of our worldwide ecosystem, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, and even eating fish. In Marin they are especially important for helping to control insect populations. Still, bats are very poorly understood. Bat biologist Gabriel Reyes with the USGS is leading an effort to correct this oversight. In this presentation he will tell us about a current bat study that uses acoustic monitoring and mist netting to learn more about the 13 species of bats that may reside on Mt Tamalpais and the surrounding area.
This study is being conducted in collaboration with One Tam, a group composed of the mountain’s four land management agencies. Over the coming years One Tam plans to undertake a variety of projects and programs that are vital to the health of the mountain, enrich the experience of its visitors, and cultivate and educate a new generation of stewards.
