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.

Currently, there’s work being done on a natural vegetation area across the dry creek that will feature trails and benches. The library also received a grant, which will be used to build out a playground, among other things.

Library services include book loans, book discussion groups, downloadable books, local and family history research, meeting space, and senior outreach and home-bound delivery. The Patrick Heath Public Library is the home of several Art Al Fresco public art pieces and the amphitheater where arts and cultural events are hosted year-round.
