Snow may have covered the ground on March 7, but that didn’t stop hundreds of adults and children from enjoying a round of golf.

The Morse Institute Library hosted its annual free Family Fun Day, featuring mini-golf and children’s activities.

Local organizations decorated the course’s 18 holes, which wound its way through the stacks on the Main and Reference floors. A big favorite with the kids was the hole sponsored by the Natick Academy of Performing Arts, featuring an homage to “Legally Blonde,” complete with one adorable and pettable (stuffed) dog.

Another hole offered plenty of pie in honor of International Pi Day on March 14 (as in 3.14, etc.– it’s a math thing).

The other participating local nonprofits, town departments and library departments included Keep Natick Beautiful, Natick Community Organic Farm, Natick Drama Workshop, Natick Garden Club, Natick Health Department, Natick Public Schools Librarians, Natick Recreation and Parks Department, Natick Service Council, Natick Sustainability, OUT MetroWest, Project ABC, SPARK Kindness, MIL Info Services Team, MIL Children’s Team, and the MIL Outreach Team.
