In addition to miniature golf, a silent auction will be held, with all proceeds go to the libary. Ostrowski said that this year, he hopes to purchase as many LeapFrog Tag Reading devices and accessories as he can to help children learn to read at the library.

Additional units will be purchased for those who tutor through the library at Cedarbrook Estates so that children in the mobile home park who can't make it to the library may benefit.

The library will close at 2 p.m. Saturday so the course can be set up. Teenagers are invited to play the course from 6-8 p.m. Saturday.

The course will be open to families from noon-4 p.m. Sunday and to local church youth groups after 5 p.m. Sunday.

"Fifty percent of the proceeds from the youth groups will go toward the LeapFrog equipment, and 50 percent will go back to those churches that participate," Ostrowski said. "We want to continue to give back and help support our community. They've given us so much support over the years."

He said that with funds raised during the event in previous years, the library was able to purchase Early Literacy Stations for preschoolers and early elementary children.

The cost of admission is $5 for teens and adults and $3 for children 12 and younger. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
