Downtown Boerne is known for its walkable charm, friendly faces, and family-owned shops. But soon, three longtime Main Street staples will be saying goodbye as their owners step into retirement.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how blessed we are to have such an amazing library in town. It really is a beautiful facility with a ton of great, mostly free, programming.

So to make sure everyone knows, we put together the ultimate guide to the Patrick Heath Public Library!
