Carl and Gretchen Patton Children's Collection
Carl Patton, once the president of Georgia State, and his wife Gretchen donated a large collection of children's books to the Library's existing children's section on the fourth floor of library north in 2003. The collection consists of about 13,000 titles. "The Pattons’ gift represented an initial step toward raising $20 million to transform the main library into a 21st century learning command central — a place where students routinely gather to conduct research, work on group projects, receive tutoring, study and socialize."
