Join us on the Garden Rooftop of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library to watch the eclipse on Monday, April 8th! Collect eclipse glasses (while supplies last) for safe viewing, and enjoy eclipse crafts for kids!  In addition to the rooftop viewing, we will also show the NASA Total Solar Eclipse Broadcast inside.

SAFETY TIPS FOR VIEWING THE ECLIPSE

• Always supervise children during the eclipse and remind them to keep their solar eclipse glasses on.
• If you normally wear eyeglasses, keep them on and put your eclipse glasses on over them.
• You should never look directly at the sun without appropriate eye protection.
• Do not use sunglasses, Polaroid filters, certain welding glass, exposed color film, X-ray film or photographic neutral-density filters to view a solar eclipse.
• Staring directly at the sun can damage your eyes and cause vision loss, which is sometimes permanent.
• Only use solar eclipse glasses and filters that comply with international standards.
• The library’s eclipse glasses are approved for use based on these standards.

If you can’t go outside or don’t have appropriate eye protection, you can register to view the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse from NASA’s livestream here.
