The Crown Point Community Library is excited to announce its second annual Library Mini Golf Event, "A Hole Lot of Fun," on Saturday, April 12, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. The library will be transformed into an 18-hole miniature golf course for the day. The course will be set up throughout the first and second floors of the library, including a special "Family Fun Zone" in the meeting rooms that will feature free refreshments, games and more. Players of all ages will have "A Hole Lot of Fun" swinging their clubs through the library stacks!
Last year this family event was a great success! We served just under1,500 people throughout the course of the day, with over 250 golfers of all ages playing 18 holes and experiencing the library in a unique and entertaining way.
A Family Fun Zone will be located in the library's three meeting rooms. Light refreshments, face painting, games and other activities will be available to players at no extra charge. In addition, we will have raffle items donated by many of our community's businesses that will begin on March 25.
The cost of the event is $5 per person or $20 for a group of five. One round of golf (putters, balls, scorecards will be provided to players) and admittance to the Family Fun Zone is included.
The library will be open for business during its normal Saturday hours, 9:00 – 5:00 p.m. Although there will be extra activity from the golfers and their fans, library staff will make every effort to provide the usual high level of service that the community expects. Patrons needing quiet library time are encouraged to visit the library on Sunday that weekend.
Are you worried about parking! Parking is a premium downtown Crown Point and we are happy to announce the City of Crown Point Parks & Recreation will once again provide "Molly the Trolley" as a free shuttle service to the library from the Wheeler Middle School parking lot. Enjoy the ride around the square!
Why mini-golf? This event is a fun and unique way to experience the entire library while raising funds for programming for children, teen, and adults at the Crown Point Community Library and Winfield Branch Library. All the proceeds from this fundraising event will allow us to offer unique traveling exhibits, author/illustrator visits, literary impersonators, musicians and more to expand the traditional boundaries of library programming.
Our librarians have many ideas for new and exciting programs that will inspire Crown Point residents. You can be part of our efforts by supporting this year's "A Hole Lot of Fun" mini-golf fundraiser – a fun event for families and friends of all ages.
