New Ways to Give!
The Patten Pillars are donors who pledge $5,000 annually for 5 years, providing the critical, sustained funding that secures our future. This long-term support will allow us to plan boldly, adapt confidently, and remain a vital, innovative resource for the community.
The 1890 Giving Circle honors Patten Free Library’s legacy. By giving $1,890 to the Annual Fund this year, members are leaving a lasting legacy—supporting the programs, collections, and services that will inspire future generations.
