The Patterson Library celebrated National Library Week recently with a raffle drawing for adults and children, says Lillie Muscente, Adult Programs Coordinator at the library.

Elizabeth Frost (shown to the right holding her prize) was delighted to claim her kids’ basket filled with music & books, including a title by local author Michael Garland.

Joe DiPierro of Patterson was the winner of the adult gift basket of goodies including a copy of “Vignettes of Patterson’s Past” a new publication written by the Patterson Historical Society.

On another Patterson library note, the popular community facility is seeking town residents who want to be on its Board of Trustees, which usually meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the library on Route 311

“Men and women of all ages are encouraged to join the board as it expands the Patterson Library facility and services to meet the growing needs of our residents,” reads the announcement on the library’s Web site. Check out the opportunity.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
