Eclipse Party

There was a recent article that mentioned that the public could get free eclipse glasses at their local library.  As a result, we have received a number of questions from library members interested in receiving eclipse viewing glasses.  Every location hosting the Science Museum Oklahoma Eclipse Party program in the month of August is receiving 100 eclipse viewing glasses.  Locations not hosting that program can still request eclipse viewing glasses by emailing me.    If your location is hosting the Eclipse Party hand out the viewing glasses at the program, one per person.  Any viewing glasses left over after that program may be handed out as you see fit.  Here is a link to the event calendar for the eclipse programs.
