Patterson: thriving metropolis. Okay, sorry… that was a lie. Patterson is more like a charming rural suburb with local charm and lots of dust around. That’s okay, I still love it there, because some people I love live there. I took my niece to library, one because it’s a free source of entertainment and knowledge, and two, because there just happen not to be many more options around for young children on a rainy day.
We tucked ourselves away into the Children’s Library area, and she chose a few picture books for me to read aloud. We sat, undisturbed for quite a while, and had no shortage of old favorites (like Dr. Suess) and new favorites (like, No David!). Our favorite was a nursery rhyme book rewritten to include a misfit cast of trucks and tractors. Very appropriate for Stanislaus County.
We ended up buying a few books from the used book shelves, and my niece is currently pouring over her Diego and the Dinosaurs book as I write. If I have to say «Maiasaura» and «vamanos» in the same sentence again I may just pitch a fit. Kidding. Thank you Stanislaus Free Library, you guys are the best.

I live in Patterson and have since 2004 it’s a great little town and the library is just as good it’s an oldie but a goodie it’s part of our community and we as a family make frequent visits to this library, the staff are friendly and helpful. My favorite part of the library as a parent is that they have a new arrival section and I always steer the kiddies there because that section never let’s us down, stop by and pick up some books at this cool little hidden treasure…

When at work in Patterson I sometimes need a book to pass a moment or two. Fortunately, Patterson has a tiny library to meet those needs. It may not have the largest selection I’ve ever seen, but the friendliness and service of the staff more than makes up for the natural limitations of a small library in a small town.

This was a place where I hung out catching up on some relaxing reading material while waiting on my parents to purchase a new car. :)
This library has my vote as a preferred «chill» spot.
