Events
The Belvedere Tiburon Library is a beloved community hub: a place for information, a center for technology access, and host to more than 800 community programs each year.
Contributions to the Foundation allow the Library to keep events for children, families, and seniors ongoing. Plan to join us at our annual events and get-togethers!

Petrocelli Literary Luncheon
This annual event features a book talk by Elaine Petrocelli, owner of the Book Passage bookstores. After an elegant lunch in the Corinthian Yacht Club dining room, Elaine highlights the best books of the year and provides anecdotes and commentary about the authors, many of whom she knows personally, and the books, all of which she has read.
Wreath Silent Auction
Each year, Bookmarks’ members, friends, and local designers create whimsical, dramatic and playful wreaths as a benefit for the Library. The wreaths are bid on during a two-week silent auction period in November and December. The auction closes with a celebration.
Teddy Bear Tea
Each Year, the Bookmarks host a Teddy Bear Tea for young children and their families in the Library’s Founders’ Room. Piping hot cocoa, savory eats and festive treats greet little guests at their beautifully decorated tables. Wonderful stories read by the children’s librarian, Alicia Bell, complete the day.
