The library is a registered collection site for Astronomers Without Borders’ Eclipse Glasses Donation Program. We will be collecting glasses throughout September. The glasses will be sent to schools and other institutions in countries where they’re needed but aren’t available. The next two solar eclipses across populated areas are in 2019 – a total solar eclipse in southern South America and an annular eclipse (where the Moon doesn’t quite cover the whole Sun) in southeastern Asia. But a partial eclipse will be seen throughout most of South America and southern Asia so the glasses are needed by millions. Give your eclipse glasses a second chance and return them to the library today!
