Patten Free Library in Bath is joining libraries nationwide for Library Giving Day on April 1, a special one-day fundraising event that invites library lovers to show their support.
Supporters can contribute online at patten.lib.me.us/give, in person at the library or by stopping by the library’s table at Brackett’s Market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To double the impact, a generous donor has offered to match the first $250 in gifts on Library Giving Day.
The library aims to be a hub for connection, learning, and community where patrons of all ages can explore new ideas, develop new skills and participate in innovative programs that enrich lives.
“Patten Free Library is more than a place to borrow books. It’s where our community gathers, learns and grows together,” Elizabeth Manning, assistant director, said in a prepared release. “Every gift, no matter the size, helps us provide vital resources and keep our library strong for generations to come.”

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
