Play Mini-Golf in the Library 

The third annual Putts4Pages MIni-Golf in the Library is once again on course to raise thousands in support of the Ashland Public Library. Ashland businesses have generously stepped up to sponsor all 18 holes and then some. And, thanks to a generous grant from the Boston Athletic Association and the Ashland Select Board, the cost of putting on the event is fully covered allowing all proceeds raised through hole sponsorships, our brand new ride-to-school and gift card raffles, and ticket sales to go directly to support the programs the library puts on for all ages at no charge for participants. 

The event, sponsored by the Friends of the APL, will take place after hours at the library March 29 and 30. Saturday evening, March 29, is for adults only and features “Mocktails, Munchies, and Mini Golf” on the 19th hole from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Mocktails will be provided by Erica’s and Ashland Ale House with a sweet and savory selection of munchies prepared by Dulce D Leche. Ticket price for this night of fun is $20 per person.

The excitement continues on Sunday, March 30, from 10 am to 3 pm when the whole family can play through 18 holes of mini-golf set up throughout the stacks and inner spaces of the library. Tickets are $5 per person, with a cap of $25 per family.
