The Nacogdoches Public Library invites the community to Astronomy 101 on Monday, September 18th at 6:30 p.m. In anticipation of the kickoff of our Library of Things telescope lending program, Dr. Norman Markworth of the SFA Astronomy department will demonstrate the basics of using a telescope to view and explore the night sky.
“We’re excited to announce another new library service,” says Crystal Hicks, assistant library director. “We are making telescopes available for checkout to the public as part of our Library of Things initiative.”
Library patron, Brian Wilson, made the new program possible by donating two telescopes to the library with this program in mind.
“My family and I really enjoy all the activities and information the library offers,” says Wilson. “We thought this was a way of showing our appreciation while also providing a learning resource for our community.”
The library also currently has board games that can be checked out, as well as a Seed Library.
Please visit www.ci.nacogdoches.tx.us/library or call 936-559-2970 to register. All library programs are free to the public. Follow us on Facebook at Nacogdoches Public Library, and on Twitter and Instagram at NacPublicLibrary.
