Library News for the Week of May 11

 Telescope Available for Checkout
Thanks to the generosity of the Greater Hazleton Area Astronomical Society, the library now has an Orion StarBlast 4.5 telescope available for checkout. Patrons may borrow the telescope for one week by asking at the Reference Desk. It can only be checked out on an adult’s library card. Borrowers will also receive an instruction manual, red light flashlight, and various stargazing maps and guides.
