We're getting ready to celebrate Eclipse Day! If you've visited lately, you've probably noticed our Eclipse Countdown calendar on the front door. Inside, we've got an entire cart filled with books about eclipses and astronomy.
We also have an eclipse activity kit available for one-week loan. The eclipse kit contains a picture book, two science guides, and a flashlight and other items for doing hands-on science activities.
Eclipse Week begins April 1
Beginning April 1 you can pick up free eclipse viewing glasses at the circulation desk. There will also be a Moon StoryWalk outside. The StoryWalk will be available for people to enjoy at their own time and pace until April 9th. Inside you'll find take-n-make activity kits which will include materials for making your own pin-hole viewer, eclipse journal pages, various puzzles and other fun items.
Eclipse Day Party April 8
On Monday, April 8 we're opening early - 1 p.m. - so we can host an informal Eclipse Day Party. Outdoor activities will include sidewalk chalk art and eclipse viewing. In case of clouds or bad weather, inside activities will include chalk art and computers will be tuned to NASA and other websites for eclipse viewing.
