The Provo City Library has telescopes available for checkout! We appreciate the help of the Utah Valley Astronomy Club who help us keep the telescopes in stellar condition. We hope this program will foster scientific literacy, stimulate interest in astronomy, and provide people who have never looked through a telescope the chance to experience the excitement that comes from exploring the night sky!
Our telescopes are available to anyone who has a valid Provo City Library Card. Three of the telescopes can be reserved for specific dates, and the rest are available through a wait list for patrons who have placed a hold. Holds will come in on a first-come, first-served basis.
Telescopes check out for one week, and the overdue fee is $5.00 per day.
Telescopes must be picked up from and returned to the 1st Floor Reference Desk during library hours.
Discover the world up close with our new microscope, now available for checkout! This easy-to-use microscope is perfect for both adults and children and comes as part of a complete kit, including prepared and blank slides, plus a sturdy carrying case. Whether you’re exploring science for school, a hobby, or just for fun, this tool makes it simple to dive into the details.
