Most of you have already heard that there will be a total solar eclipse on August 21 of this year. Yes, Virginia, Minnesota is too far north to experience totality, but we will still be able to view part of it: About 60% of the sun will appear covered from NE Minnesota.

You can learn more about both solar and lunar eclipses @ your library. Plenty of materials are available for you to borrow from our shelves, or you can explore the many databases that we provide you with online access to.
We will also be hosting a number of events related to the event. So keep your eyes on our web page, blog, and events calendar for more information and event dates.
