An amateur astronomy club, a local amateur astronomer, or a science teacher can greatly enhance your program by serving as an ambassador. They can assist with complex maintenance tasks and host "star parties" to teach library patrons how to use the telescope and navigate the night sky.

USA

In the USA, the easiest way to find an amateur astronomer to support the Library Telescope Program is to locate a local astronomy club:

• Resource - Astronomical Society of Pacific 
• Resource - Sky & Telescope Magazine

Outside the USA

In other parts of the world, search online for amateur astronomer clubs, or reach out to local science institutions or science teachers for assistance.
