‘Patterson After Dark’

is Saturday

WESTFIELD – The Patterson Society will be hosting “Patterson After Dark,” a fundraiser for Patterson Library, on Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $40 each and available at www.pattersonlib.org or in person at the library.

Featuring food and drink from local wineries, breweries, restaurants, and library supporters, “Patterson After Dark” is an evening to remember. A jazz duo will provide music in the elegant atrium, and the circulation desk turns into a bar for one night only! Teen volunteers provide complimentary on-site childcare for school-age children of ticket holders, offering snacks, activities, and entertainment.

Funds raised from this event will directly support library operations. As an association library, Patterson Library is a non-profit — not a department of the village, town, or school. The library relies on the generosity of those local groups for support but also relies on donors to help keep our facility running.

Donations of food & drink or volunteers are welcome. Contact Patterson Library (716-326-2154) or email Megan Hegna, Library Director (director@pattersonlib.org), for more information.
