Dark Skies: Books

Summer is a great time to borrow a telescope! Telescopes come with instructions and hints on where to look for various constellations.

Any adult library cardholder can check-out telescopes.

Request for a telescope can be made at the circulation desk or by calling 314-994-3300.

The Borrow a Telescope program is made possible by donations from the Astronomical Society and the St. Louis County Library Foundation.

Check out binoculars for use in backyards, at the zoo, concerts or sporting events. The program is a partnership with the St. Louis Astronomical Society.
