Prescott Valley Public Library-New Event- Solar Eclipse Viewing Event, April 8th, 2024

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States and Canada. Join the Prescott Valley Public Library and the Prescott Astronomy Club at the Civic Center Theater on the Green to learn more about solar eclipses and to safely experience this rare astronomical event. Telescopic viewing stations will be provided by the Prescott Astronomy Club. They will also share scientific facts about eclipses alongside a large viewing screen, as well as safe viewing tips leading up to peak viewing time, shortly after 11:20 AM. Activity stations will be hosted by the library, including paper viewer supplies and fun giveaways. Viewing the partial eclipse yourself requires special glasses; never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Solar glasses will be distributed for free at Prescott Valley Public Library on March 29 between 10:00-12:00 and 2:00-4:00. Due to limited supplies, the library cannot guarantee that solar glasses will be available at the April 8 event, so please take advantage of the solar glasses giveaway on March 29.
