Library Telescope Program

The Arcata Branch of the Humboldt County Public Library has three Orion StarBlast 4.5 inch table-top telescopes available for Humboldt County Library card holders to check out. Each telescope is equipped with a variable-power eyepiece and a red dot finder. The kit that comes with each telescope includes:

  • An instruction manual
  • An Audubon Pocket Guide to the Constellations
  • A moon map

The telescopes were donated by the Astronomers of Humboldt as part of the nationwide Library Telescope Program. Please visit or call the Arcata Library at 707-822-5954 for more information.
