Hello Patten Free,


Tomorrow is the first day of fall, and it's time to officially say goodbye to Summer Reading. Almost two hundred participants entered into the end of summer raffle, with patrons from all five service areas contributing. We hope you had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to fall as much as we are.
