Portage library to offer telescope for patrons to check out (USA)

When the stars come out, patrons of the Portage District Library will be able to see them more clearly. The library is the first in the state to offer a telescope that library card holders can check out thanks to a donation by the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society. The KAS has donated an Orion Starblast 4.5" reflector telescope to the Portage District Library's collection. Beginning Tuesday, May 22, patrons will be able to check out the sturdy, tabletop telescope and gaze at the stars and planets from home
