Thank you, Mary Kate!

We are so sorry to say good-bye to Mary Kate Kwasnik, who for the last two years has been the Archivist & Special Collections Librarian of the Patten Free Library’s Sagadahoc History and Geneology Room, aka the History Room. She is leaving the Library - but not the area - to take another position. We truly benefited from her participation in Bath Historical Society board meetings, her input on many BHS projects, including this new website, and her expert and joyful work helping researchers, including us! Good luck, Mary Kate! We look forward to seeing you in the History Room on Saturdays, where we hear you will be “subbing” in from time to time.
