The 2025 Boulder Library Gala - Remarkable Night Creatures
Boulder’s signature library fundraising event of 2025 will take over the Main Library’s south side turned aquarium, and the party will include a reception with specially-crafted food and beverage, activities amongst the stacks, author signings and a program featuring best-selling author Shelby Van Pelt of "Remarkably Bright Creatures" and stories of lives forever changed by the Boulder Public Library. Last year’s sold-out 50 Year Gala attracted 400 remarkable night creatures and raised over $130K for our library’s outreach and literacy programs. Grab your ticket, make a splash, and help raise even more!
Tickets and tables can be purchased online, or by calling 720-551-8385, or emailing info@boulderlibraryfoundation.org.
Parking is available in both the Canyon and Arapahoe lots. To reach the Arapahoe entrance from the Canyon Blvd lot, you can cross the creek using the exterior bridge.
Event sponsored by Fransen Pittman Construction and JOC Construction.
