Beyond Books – Binoculars

With the help of the Rockford Amateur Astronomers, the Cherry Valley Public Library is pleased to offer binoculars for checkout to library patrons.

We have three Vortex Crossfire 8×42 Binoculars which are available for library cardholders ages 14 and up to check-out. Binoculars check out for one week and can be renewed once if there are no holds. They can be placed on hold by calling the library. Patrons checking out the binoculars are required to sign a borrowing agreement.
