Help us keep Patterson Library strong for future generations!
Rusting steel lintels above the nine large windows at the rear of Patterson Library are damaging the surrounding brickwork at a steadily increasing rate. You can't see these lintels, but you can see the damage: loosening bricks and mortar are telltale signs of a problem that will only get worse.
What do we need?
The project will cost $82,500. A New York State Public Library Construction Grant will cover half the cost, but we still need a matching amount, $41,250, to complete the project and keep Patterson strong for a bright future.

On November 28, Patterson Library unveiled a new stained glass window
created by glass artist Patrick Todoroff, donated by Sandra Hurd and
Joel Potash in memory of Patricia Nixon Greenleaf and Faith Crandall
Scott. Todoroff was asked to create a window inspired by and
accentuatiung the gorgeous view of Patterson's Pergola Garden. The
window features a fitting quote from Cicero: "If you have a garden and
a library, you have everything you need." The window is a tribute to
two remarkable women who appreciated the value that great libraries
give to our lives.
