As an extra treat, special solar eclipse viewing glasses will be provided to attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis, allowing everyone to safely enjoy the celestial spectacle.

The library is also seeking support from the community in the form of empty shoeboxes for the craft activity. If you have old shoeboxes you’d like to donate, kindly drop them off at the circulation desk during regular business hours.
