Mark your Calendars! Mini Golf FUN Raiser at the Yorkville Public Library on Sunday, February 5, 2023 · 11am-4pm · $5 per golfer

Get ready for the annual Mini Golf FUN Raiser! The Yorkville Public Library, in partnership with the Friends of the Yorkville Library, are excited to be planning the Mini Golf FUN Raiser. Come out to the Library (902 Game Farm Rd) for 18 uniquely themed holes of mini golf inside the Yorkville Library! Each hole is sponsored by a local business or family, and decorated by that business, family, or a non-profit from the community! Event tickets are $5 per golfer and are available now at the Circulation Desk during library hours. The annual raffle will be held in conjunction with the mini golf event. Come take a sneak peek at the raffle prizes at the Yorkville Library throughout the month of January! Raffle tickets will be available beginning in January ($1 each or $5 for 6 tickets). We will also have our Characters for a Cause coming to entertain the children while waiting to golf. You can find Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, and DC characters walking around interacting with everyone and giving an opportunity for a photo op. This is one of the 2 large fund raisers that the Friends sponsor for the Library each year. The money earned from the event goes back to the library for the purchase of new books and to fund special programs, materials, and services for library patrons and the community. A special thank you to our main event sponsor, Metronet! Join us as a golfer or a sponsor! We are still accepting sponsors and raffle donations.

Snow Parking Regulations

With the winter weather quickly approaching, the Yorkville Police Department would like to remind all residents of our parking after two inches of snowfall ordinance. This ordinance places a parking ban on all city streets once two inches of fresh snow has accumulated and will remain in effect until twenty-four hours after the snowfall has stopped. By doing your part, you will help the Public Works Department have time to clear the roads and allow for safer travel. Failure to comply with this ordinance may result in a city ordinance citation which carries a fine of fifty dollars. We are encouraging everyone to utilize the Yorkville Police Department’s Facebook page for updates on inclement weather as well as parking bans. The Yorkville Police Department would like to thank everyone for their attention and assistance with this matter.

Happy Holidays from the United City of Yorkville!
