Get Ready for the April 8 Solar Eclipse!

Howe Library is getting ready for the upcoming solar eclipse. Stop by our display, located outside of the Garden Room, to learn more about eclipses. You can also join us at one of the following programs:

After April 1, any remaining glasses will be available at the Information Desk in limited numbers to library cardholders only.
