To the Editor:

The Patten Free Library wishes to recognize the merchants of our service communities of Bath, West Bath, Georgetown, Woolwich and Arrowsic for generously donating to the 21st Annual Dinner and Silent Auction at J. R. Maxwell’s April 30. The overwhelming support helped make this the library’s most successful dinner to date.

The library is 35 percent funded by our service communities. The remainder is raised in an annual appeal, Friends of the Library and other fund raisers like the dinner and auction.
