Annular Solar Eclipse Viewing Party
Join us on the back patio to view the eclipse! Library staff will also open the Community Room to view a livestream of the eclipse for those not wanting to look directly at the sun. Bring your solar eclipse glasses (some may be available as supplies last). Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the Sun
The annular solar eclipse begins in California at 9:18 am PDT with the speed of the Moon's shadow being 5585 mph. The annular solar eclipse leaves California at 9:22 am PDT and the Moon's shadow diminishes to 4169 mph. The maximum duration of annularity in California is 4 minutes and 39 seconds.
Note that this viewing party occurs BEFORE the library opens. The library will open as normal at 10am.
