There’s now another way to reach for the stars at Braswell Memorial Library. We have started a program to loan telescopes! BML has acquired eight reflector telescopes, four in size 4.5 inch and four in size 6 inch, and a number of new books and DVDs on astronomy. The Cummins Planetarium at the Imperial Centre has partnered with the library in support of this project.
If you ever had the slightest interest in astronomy, or have a child interested in science, now is the time to test the waters of this fascinating subject. These are not toy telescopes. They are quality instruments specifically geared towards the amateur astronomer. Along with the books and DVDs they may well serve to spark a lifelong interest in astronomy.

The telescope project was made possible by a grant from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
