Solar Eclipses
Annular Eclipse, Saturday, October 14, 2023
Total Eclipse, Monday, April 8, 2024
The Library is gearing up for the coming eclipses! We will once again have free solar viewing glasses thanks to a grant from The Star Library Network.
Glasses will only be available to the public at the Library's Eclipse Events. To get glasses, please register for one of the following classes (one pair of glasses each) or come to the library on an eclipse day, where we will hand out the remaining glasses first come, first served.
If you are a local school/science teacher in need of glasses please contact us as soon as possible.
A poetry contest will be held with the total eclipse this spring! Watch here for more details.
Events:
Annular & Total Eclipse Class: Look at different types of eclipses, make a case to keep your viewing glasses safe until April, and make a safe viewing device.
Class will be held twice, please call to register for either one.
