On Thursday, June 27, Corey Swanson from the Martz-Kohl Observatory presented an informative and exciting program regarding the Orion Starblast Telescope that is now available for take-out from the Bemus Point Library. The Martz-Kohl Observatory participates in the Library Telescope Program which places telescopes in local public libraries, allowing general access to portable telescopes that can be put into circulation just like a book. The goals of the program are to help foster scientific literacy, to stimulate interest in astronomy, enable people who have never looked through a telescope the chance to experience the excitement that comes from discovery, and to provide a valuable asset for libraries. Thank you to Corey and the Martz-Kohl Observatory for encouraging families to engage with the starry skies!!
