Narrative:
A C150 called me on tower frequency; inbound to land from the southeast. A few minutes later; the pilot reported green laser light activity from the area west of the airport. The C150 was at 2;000 ft entering a left downwind for runway 19 at the time. Aircraft landed without further incident. I don't know if there is much that can be done to prevent unauthorized laser events; but it was helpful finding the phraseology for the 5 minute announcements and the ATIS broadcast in the 7110.65. Maybe if laser light events was indexed; it would be faster to find.
