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. Research shows that libraries that have playgrounds increase their patrons as well as patron satisfaction.  The grounds of the Patrick Heath Public Library are serving as an educational experience with the informative panels which describe the ground water issues and conservation efforts we are using, the native plants and the railways of yesterday.
