Where to find proven design patterns?

When developing software, it's recommended not to reinvent the wheel but to use battle tested libraries e.g. for sorting or proven design patterns like the GoF.
However when it comes to electrical engineering I'm unaware of such libraries. I have bought Circuit pattern trading cards however a friend of mine told me those implementations are not ideal.
Therefore I'm asking: where to find proven circuit design patterns and higher level libraries for electrical engineering tasks?

The closest to this that I've found is The Art of Electronics. There are a number of design patterns laid out in that textbook, discussed in detail in many cases, and it provides a lot of more commonly needed "patterns."

As usual, I will be the one naming CircuitJS. It is a simulation tool in the browser, if you click the link then you can find tons of designs under "Circuits" at the top.

A good place to start would be the Reference Design Library at AllAboutCircuits.com
It has a large searchable database of common circuits.
Another option is more vendor specific. For instance Texas Instruments has nice tools for helping design typical circuits.
Even Digi-Key has a good reference library.
If you are looking for more basic/fundamental circuits, I think you would be best off with a book such as The Art of Electronics.

Most (all?) chip manufacturers publish application notes showing how their chips can be used in a circuit, and these usually contain reference designs that you can use.
How well these designs are tested varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and probably even depending on which applications engineer wrote the note.
Historically there were books that collected these designs, mostly copied directly out of the app notes, with titles like "1001 Electronic Circuits" or "501 Measurement Circuits". But those are hardly needed in the era of Google.

Yes you are right, when using a chip there are usually application notes included. However (and this wasn't clear from my question, so you couldn't know) I was thinking about problems like "a 100V XOR gate" where I cannot find a chip implementing this feature so I have to build it myself using other components

@ooxi, even discrete device vendors make application notes. You might find this in the app notes for a high voltage MOSFET or BJT, if anybody has thought of doing it before. But if your requirements are really obscure, you might just have to design it yourself.

A 100V XOR gate is a good example for a thing that should never be built. This problem is ill-defined. The seasoned engineer would go find the source of that problem and eliminate it instead.
