November 7, 1927 – A formal dedication ceremony took place for the newly constructed Saratoga Library, on the corner of Oak Street and Los Gatos Road. The Saratoga Foothill Club and Sheldon P. Patterson were instrumental in raising the funds, with a total building cost of $12,000. The architect was Edward (Ted) Spencer of Oakland, Ca. In 1929 the library was dedicated in Patterson’s memory. It stayed in operation until December 1981. The Friends of the Saratoga Library took over the building in 1983 to run the Book-Go-Round, which is still in use as a used book store that raises funds for the Saratoga Library.
