No, you don’t have to come to the library to view the eclipse. We will have a limited number of eclipse glasses available starting Saturday, September 30th.
This is not a total eclipse, it will not be safe to view without protection at ANY point. It begins at 8:09 and ends at 10:44. The maximum coverage will occur at 9:23. Adults may pick up glasses for your family or students at the library. We will have printed safety information or you can go to https://nationaleclipse.com/safety.html or https://www.nasa.gov/content/eye-safety-during-a-total-solar-eclipse
