When You Wish Upon a Star

As the size of our library grows so does  the need for additional equipment and programming. The patronage of the Patrick Heath Public Library has grown exponentially as our community discovers the treasure that we have been given. The Boerne Public Library Foundation is committed to a continued partnership with our Library by bringing equipment and programming needs to our community.

Our Sound Minds Sound Bodies initiative was born out of the desire to provide our community with enrichment from many different aspects while visiting our library.  Research has demonstrated that play areas on the grounds of libraries are producing educational opportunities for development of gross motor skills, sound physical activity and positive energy use so that children can focus on learning.  A play scape was envisioned for Phase II of the library, and that time has come. 

Our vision is to construct a play area that mimics are beautiful wooded surrroundings, that serves children ages 2 - 15 and provides a peaceful and safe place to play. 

We need your support to make this happen!
