Beginning in July, Patten Free Library will provide free home delivery of library materials to patrons who are confined to their homes and unable to visit the library due to age, illness or disability. Qualified individuals must reside in the library’s service area of Bath, Woolwich, Arrowsic, Georgetown and West Bath and already have or obtain a library card.
“This exciting new initiative will serve our homebound patrons who live independently and also those who reside in assisted living facilities,” said Roberta Jordan, outreach and instruction librarian. “Thanks to a generous grant from Bowdoin College’s Common Good Program, we are now accepting applications for the free delivery service that will begin in early July.”

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
