Posted by bonnie on 27 May 2021

Marin’s Favorite Book Event of the Year is Saturday, June 24 from 9:00am to 3:30pm. The sale is held on the main library lawn at 1100 E  Street at Fifth Avenue under the shelter of an immense oak tree, a lovely old-fashioned setting for a clement summer day! Come early for the best selections —- although we’ll be refreshing the tables all morning long.

Enjoy browsing 35 tables of everything for superlative summer reading at the beach, by the lake, or even in your backyard!  Coffee table fine art books on 3 tables, architecture, design, needle arts, gardening & landscape design, lots of cooking for fresh BBQ ideas, natural history, sports & health, poetry, classics & oldies, sets, a plethora of history, fiction in trade & hardcover, spirituality, tables of children’s books from board books to early teen favorites, comics & games, psychology, sheet music, biographies, CDs and DVDs, audio books, and much more…

All books have been donated since June 2022.  Proceeds benefit programs for children and adults at our 3 library branches, from our summer reading program for kids to the art lecture series for adults.

This sale is sponsored by Friends of the San Rafael Libraries.
