The Blue Hill Public Library will begin circulating three pairs of Nikon 8x40 "Action" binoculars to patrons on May 7th, just in time for spring bird watching. Patrons can borrow the binoculars for one week and can place holds on them just like any book or video using the Library's online catalog or by calling the Library at 374-5515. Although children are welcome to use the binoculars they can only be checked out by adults because of the expense involved. Having fun with them? You can renew them if there are no holds.
The binoculars are on loan from Downeast Audubon, a chapter of Maine Audubon. The group has binoculars available for school programs and field trips and decided to make three pairs available to the larger community through the Library.
The binoculars come with instructions on how to focus them for each eye so that images will be sharp. They also come with a small book on beginning birding but the Library also has a good selection of bird guides and references. For more information, contact the Library at 374-5515.
