Families had an amazing time observing the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, at the North Adams Library. The event was educational and engaging, as attendees learned about the fascinating ways in which solar eclipses impact our environment. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended.

We hope you enjoyed the solar eclipse on April 8 as much as we did. If you still have your viewing glasses, please drop them off at any Adams County Public Library by Tuesday, April 30, regardless of whether you got them from us or another location. Through a partnership between SWACO and Solar USA, the gently used glasses will be sent to Latin American Schools, and distributed to school-age children, so they can safely view the October 2024 Solar Eclipse. Thanks for your support!
