Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The Librarians at the McPherson Public Library are ready to launch their Patron Telescope Program. They received their three telescopes, one reserved for library use and two for patron circulation, and we scheduled a time for us to go out and complete the modifications for them. We also trained two of the librarians on how to use the telescope and train their patrons on how to use the telescopes once the modifications were completed. The librarians are excited to test the telescopes themselves before releasing them to their patrons in January.
