The 2024 total solar eclipse is almost here! To celebrate, the Wead Library has organized a ton of programs and activities for patrons of all ages. Almost all of these programs are FREE to attend!
To launch our solar eclipse series on Tuesday, March 5, master storyteller Perry Ground is back again with his presentation Raven Steals the Sun: Native American Eclipse Stories. Our March and April schedules are packed with space-themed story hours, informational solar eclipse safe viewing presentations, a Saturday film afternoon, a Solar Eclipse Acrylic Painting class with local artist Cindy Gadway, and more—there is something for everyone at the Wead Library! Our solar eclipse series will conclude with our Solar Eclipse Viewing Party on April 8.
