Eclipse Event

August 21, 2017

 Come Watch the Eclipse with us!

You can create Sun Cookies, play eclipse trivia and best of all… use your pinhole box to watch the eclipse, or share our NASA approved, safe Eclipse Glasses.  Please be aware: we will have several glasses on hand, but they will stay at the library viewing party for everyone to share, because we don’t have enough to give away to everyone.

Please remember, don’t look at the sun during the eclipse (or any time!) without safe eclipse glasses. We are not in the path of totality, so there will be plenty of time for everyone at our viewing party to take a turn with the glasses to see the partial eclipse between 1:30 and 4:00. The maximum coverage will be around 2:43.
