At last, perhaps we will have the first signs of cool weather. Perhaps the mornings are just a bit crisper, and the dog days of August are at an end.

Storytime_03.jpgPlay golf for a good cause: The St. Tammany Parish Library.

Amid all of the fall activities that come with the good weather,. including our beloved football and outdoor festivals, are the ever-popular golfing outings. For those who like to swing the sticks, hoping that the ball will fly in the general direction of the hole, Sept. 11 offers an opportunity to hit the links alongside a group of friends and support a worthy cause.

The St. Tammany Parish Library Association will present “Fore Our Library, A Golf Tournament and Free Library Festival” at the Abita Springs Golf Club. The event is being held in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the St. Tammany Parish Library. The festivities will take placed from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the day includes a lot more than the golf tournament. It promises to be a festival for interested families as well as golfers. All funds raised at the festival will benefit the St. Tammany Parish Library. The Library Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides financial support for the library.
Those who are interested can participate in one of several ways. If you are interested in being a sponsor, cash donations are always welcome, or door prizes are needed for the festival. If you are interested in being a sponsor, contact John Dejean at 502.7814. The golf tournament is open for a green fee donation of $100. The public is welcome to attend the festival.

The golf tournament check-in will begin at 11 a.m., and the tournament will be a four-man scramble. The entry fee is $100 per golfer. Teams can register on the day of the tournament, or at the St. Tammany Parish Library administrative office. Several prizes will be offered as well as snacks and supper.

The Library Festival is free to the public, and there will be a number of children’s activities available. Library service information will be offered. Representatives from sports teams and the library will be there to meet guests. A group of interactive inflatable activities named “The Saints Experience” should keep the kids active. The Gold Coast Sky Diving group will provide thrills by staging a skydiving exhibition. Since this is a benefit for the library, books will be featured. Author J. Michael Veron will be in attendance and available to autograph his works, including “The Greatest Player who Never Lived,” “The Greatest Player that Never Was,” and “The Caddie.”

For more information on the day’s activities, call 871.1220, 502.7814 or fax 892.9114. or visit the library web site at www.sttammany.lib.la.us.

The contact person at the library is Mimi Nunaker, Adult Program Librarian who can be reached at 893.6280, Ext. 120. There will be a lot of activities and fun for all.
Libraries are often referred to as the storehouse of mankind’s knowledge. That is a worthy cause to support while enjoying a beautiful and active late summer day.
