Golf, Bowl, Dance, & Eat at Library Saturday

Psstt…. wanna break some rules and not get in trouble?

On any normal day, dancing, golfing, bowling, and eating ice cream and pizza would get you in a heap of trouble at the Palm Harbor Library. But, not this Saturday. 

From 6 to 8 p.m. the will be hosting its first-ever family "fun-raiser called, "You Can't Do That at the Library". The event will celebrate National Literacy Week and raise money for library programs and materials.

"The whole idea is to have fun and do all the things you normally can't do when the library is open," said Palm Harbor Library Assistant Director Lois Eannel.

The library staff has been working hard behind the scenes in preparation for the "fun-raiser". They created artistic, themed backgrounds for each hole of the mini-golf course. The course will give you a glimpse of the library most patrons have never seen. It runs throughout the library, including the circulation room, which is usually closed to the public.

The event offers lots of fun activities. For two hours, you can let your hair down and-

• Eat pizza & drink beverages served by the library staff & volunteers.
• Enjoy ice cream from the Sundae Bar
• Play golf on the mini-golf course
• Watch Arthur Murray Dancers perform
• Meet the Chick-Fil-A Cow
• Listen to music from Gary Clark
• See how Origami is made from a dollar bill
• Play Corn Hole
• Participate in a chance drawing for one of eight gift baskets

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 3-12. Tickets purchased in advance receive three free chances for a gift basket giveaway at the event. Items in the gift baskets were donated by local merchants (see photos of gift baskets). Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted. Tickets are also available at the door. For more information, call (727) 784-3332 ext. 3003.

Please note: You will not be able to check out books during the "fun-raiser".

The Palm Harbor Library is located at 2330 Nebraska Ave.
