The solar eclipse is coming, and the Candor Free Library is getting ready to celebrate. The library is hosting two events to prepare for and observe the 2017 eclipse.
On Saturday, Aug. 19, the library will join the “Feed the 5,000” event at the Candor Fire Hall pavilion. From noon to 2 p.m., the library will host a table full of family activities. Come decorate your own solar-viewing glasses, make a pinhole viewer, learn what the eclipse is all about, and take home some prizes.
On Monday, Aug. 21, the library is hosting a Solar Eclipse party from 1 to 3 p.m. If you have solar eclipse glasses and viewers, bring them – or make some at the library. Decorate solar cookies, watch the eclipse, and do some hands-on science. If raining, the party will still go on and guests will watch the eclipse via a feed from NASA.
Drop by the library to check out the new books about eclipses. Candor Free Library is located at 2 Bank St., just behind the Village Hall. Summer hours for the library are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2 to 5 p.m.; on Tuesday from 2 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.; Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon, 2 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.; and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m.
