People can enjoy a special sundae, play a round of miniature golf, and help the Lancaster Public Library - Mountville Branch all in one place on one night.

The library will hold a fundraising night Tuesday, Aug. 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Scoops Ice Cream & Grille and Boulders Miniature Golf, 312 Primrose Lane, Mountville.

Mention the library, and a portion of the proceeds from your purchases at both Scoops and Boulders will be donated to Friends of Mountville Library.

"Scoops has fabulous food and a very good menu," said Karen Denlinger, who is president of the board of Friends of Mountville Library. "Good prices, delicious food, and fabulous ice cream."

Scoops will have two signature sundaes specifically for the library fundraiser - the "Librarian," which will feature chocolate and peanut butter, and the "Bookworm," which will include soft vanilla ice cream and gummy worms.

"They also have a great mini golf course, and people can exercise by walking around the course," Denlinger said. "You can meet friends and make new friends. Play a round and then either eat (dinner) or enjoy a good, cold ice cream cone, all to support the library."

Jason Risner, an owner of Scoops Ice Cream & Grille and Boulders Miniature Golf, said he is happy to have his businesses contribute to a worthy cause. "I think everything we do is try to be community-based, and the library is a big asset to the Mountville community," said Risner. "So any way we can support them we will. It's going benefit us to benefit the community as a whole."

The Mountville library is also selling Boulders Miniature Golf tickets at a reduced rate. Those tickets can be used on any date.

During the fundraising night, Denlinger will distribute flyers promoting the library's book sale, which will be held Friday, Sept. 19, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mountville Church of the Brethren, 60 Clay St., across the street from the library.

The library, located at 120 College Ave., Mountville, is accepting donations of gently used books, puzzles, board games, DVDs, CDs, and albums through Friday, Sept. 5. Donations can be dropped off at the library Mondays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. "Donate a book in the condition that you would want to read," said Denlinger, adding that people are asked to donate a maximum of two boxes of books.
