All Glasses Are Now Gone

Starting Wednesday, August 16th at 9:00 AM, we'll be offering eclipse glasses to residents of Norridge and Harwood Heights.

Due to high demand and concerns regarding the safety of solar eclipse glasses:

• Glasses will be given exclusively to residents of Norridge and Harwood Heights.
• Glasses will be given only to those with valid Eisenhower Library cards.
• Recipients will be required to sign a waiver.
• Recipients must be 18 or older with valid proof of age.
• Recipients under 18 will need a parent or legal guardian present to sign on their behalf.
• Glasses are limited to two per library card.
• Glasses will be available on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last.
• Glasses will not be held or reserved.

The safest way to view an eclipse is on video. On Monday, August 21st, from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, we'll be live streaming NASA's footage of the event. The agency will share images from spacecraft, aircraft, high-altitude balloons, and the International Space Station alongside coverage of eclipse events at parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals, and museums across the U.S.

We'll be closed Tuesday, July 4th for Independence Day. Even though we won't be open, you'll still be able to use many library resources.
