The problem is in the Windows side (not on Android)
Change permissions on C:UsersPatronid_rsa from within Windows. It seems your file permissions are not being duplicated when you copy the file contents.
For example by right-clicking on that file in Windows-explorer.

Use something like "portable Putty" instead. That should work on a library PC if they have USB ports enabled. Otherwise use something like Connectbot on your Android tablet (or phone if the screen is big enough). All of these will connect to SSH servers that only support public-key authentication. You may have to massage your private key into a suitable format but that is doable with standard tools.
