Hi everyone,
It’s eclipse day! As of this morning, we’ve run out of eclipse glasses to give out. Come gather in front of the Tamworth History Center to watch the eclipse this afternoon. We’ll bring pinhole viewers and I expect there will be neighbors willing to share eclipse glasses. Wear boots; the snow is melting fast today, but will leave mud behind.
Here’s what’s happening this week at your library:
