To find the approximate number of patrons who borrow novels when they visit the library, we can set up a proportion using the information provided.

3 patrons borrow novels out of 80 surveyed patrons. Let x represent the total number of patrons who borrow novels out of the total 345 patrons.

3/80 = x/345

Cross multiply to solve for x:

80x = 3 * 345
80x = 1035
x ≈ 12.94

Rounded to the nearest whole number, approximately 13 patrons borrow novels when they visit the library.
