What’s Happening at the Library

A message from our NASA Ambassador, Bill Fournier!

Greetings, Space Enthusiasts: On April 8th, 2024, the Moon will move between the Sun and Earth and block out our view of the Sun. Everyone along the path where the Moon’s dark shadow lands will see a total solar eclipse, one of nature’s most awesome spectacles. Everywhere in North America will see at least a partial eclipse of the Sun. On Tuesday, April 2nd,  at 11AM PDT/2PM EDT, we will  host a special live webinar giving you “Tricks & Tips for Observing an Eclipse.” Please register for this free Eclipse webinar.

Ask Andrea if you would like a pair of  eclipse glasses from last year’s youth summer reading program!
