Here is a most interesting space scoop—the library has five Orion StarBlast Astro Reflector Telescopes that you can borrow. Each BPL branch has a telescope which can be borrowed for up to a week. Don’t forget to jump for joy at the prospect of being able to borrow a telescope! And if you want to, feel free to break into a little dance.
Did I mention that there are only five telescopes when it’s already been established that there are six branches? No error on my part. The sixth BPL Branch is a Tool Lending Library. Berkeley residents or property owners over age 18 can borrow tools, ranging from ladders and wheelbarrows to plumbing, mechanical and power tools. Please see the entire list of tools!
Check out all of the amazing programs that the Berkeley Public Library offers! And if you are in the business of promoting libraries or performing artists, consider staging an innovative collaboration that brings value to the entire community of book lovers, patrons and artists.
