[Michlib-l] Mini-golf at the library?

[Jo Angela Oehrli]

Maggie and Jean,

The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Library has a Welcome Week event
called Party for Your Mind which includes many simultaneous activities
throughout the library in a 2 hour time block.  We do things like book
making, board gaming, video gaming on large screens, and have even put
together some escape rooms in the building.  We also had food.  One of the
activities the students have done in the past was indoor mini-golf.  I
asked the coordinators of that event for their advice and here is what they
said.


*Angie, we used Acme Partyworks. *
*https://acmepartyworks.com/* <https://acmepartyworks.com/>

*We have not done this for a number of years--it was fun and the students
enjoyed it, but it's a little bit expensive and the logistics in terms of
the company dropping off the equipment and then storing the equipment
before and after the event was a little complicated. We had tons of other
activities so this got dropped.  *


You may not have the same constraints that we did.  On the other hand, Novi
is nowhere near Spring Lake.

Good luck with your fundraising!

Angie
