Letter: Library Mini-Golf Was Very Successful

To the Editor:  

The Friends of the Westborough Public Library would like to thank area businesses and the Westborough community who supported the 1st Annual Masters of Literacy Mini-Golf Event. 

The event was a great success, with over 200 golfers of all ages playing 18 holes. Participants were able to explore and experience the library in a unique and fun way. We sincerely appreciate the support of our generous sponsors and donors and all who helped to make Library Mini-Golf successful.  

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Friends of the Westborough Public Library will use  money raised to support library programs and stimulate the community’s interest in all the library has to offer.

The Westborough Public Library presently services 13,500 patrons. To date, the Friends have provided funding for the Library Museum Pass Program, which allows residents to attend museums for free, or at reduced cost; speakers, workshops and film series; and laptops, Nooks and iPads for staff and patrons to use.
