Free Solar Glasses!

Saturday, October 14, 2023
North Library

Do you want to see the Sun like never before? On October 14, 2023, a spectacular annular solar eclipse will occur, creating a dazzling “ring of fire” in the sky. This is a rare opportunity to witness Join us at our library on October 14, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., to view the solar eclipse like never before! To get your free pair of solar glasses, just visit our library anytime during our opening hours from October 9 to October 14, 2023.

Solar glasses are special eyewear that block out the Sun’s ultraviolet and infrared radiation, allowing you to safely view the eclipse without damaging your vision. They also enhance the contrast and clarity of the Sun’s features, making the eclipse more enjoyable and memorable. Solar glasses are essential for viewing any part of the annular eclipse, as the Sun will never be completely covered by the Moon.

The annular solar eclipse is a rare and beautiful event that you don’t want to miss. Come to our library and get your free solar glasses today!!
