Help us spread the word! Charlotte Mecklenburg Library only has eclipse glasses available at select programs
Help us spread the word! Charlotte Mecklenburg Library will not be distributing eclipse glasses to the public at large on or before August 21.
There will be a small number of glasses available during select programs at some branches. However program participation is a requirement to obtain the glasses and they will be distributed first-come, first-served, or through advance registration.
Never fear! Some branches will use this opportunity to teach participants how to create their own eclipse-viewing materials similar to this activity.
Finding eclipse glasses has become a nation-wide issue as more and more people attempt to purchase glasses in the waning weeks before this historic event. Libraries had been noted in some media stories as a resource for glasses. This update helps explain why this is not the case any longer.
Discovery Place is reported to have a small allotment of eclipse glasses available on Thursday, August 16.
