On April 8, the moon will glide between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow across parts of North America: a total solar eclipse.
Safely celebrate this event in style with a pair of solar viewing glasses provided by the Friends of the Mattapoisett Library. Stop by the MFPL to snag a free pair of eclipse glasses to share with your friends and family (while supplies last). Please note that distribution is limited to one pair of glasses per family on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Remember, even briefly staring at the eclipse without eye protection can lead to serious and permanent vision damage, making eclipse glasses the perfect preventative accessory to wear this April 8. For more information on how to enjoy this momentous occasion, please visit www.eclipse.aas.org.
