Program Description

Join us for an eclipse watch party in Marie Litta Park, next to the Library at the corner of Gridley and Jackson streets.

While supplies last, the library will provide free eclipse glasses/viewing cards to attendees. There will also be a creative activity for kids. In the Bloomington area, the eclipse will occur at about 2pm and should include about 95 percent coverage.
