The Patrick Heath Public Library is a 30,000+ square feet library in Boerne, TX, named after a former Boerne mayor. It opened upon completion on June 4, 2011, after the Boerne Public Library closed at the Dienger building further south on Main Street.
The library offers a catalogue of books, DVDs, video games, instruments, projectors, and more for loan. There are digital books to download and other online resources. It also houses discussion groups, workshops for kids, tech help, and events for seniors.
