The Patten Free Library has a variety of unusual things that can be checked out with your Library card— just like a book! We have language and outdoor adventure kits, a telescope, games, and more.

The children's department is especially excited to welcome four new American Girl Dolls; Isabel, Nicki, Kit, and Lila.
