Today’s Eclipse
Unfortunately, the library did not receive any eclipse viewing glasses. However, you can make your own pinhole camera to safely view the eclipse. Use these instructions from NASA.
Never look at the sun directly; NASA has a page on safety during the eclipse here.
The library will live stream the eclipse from NASA, on the big screen in the auditorium.
New On Demand Videos
The library is pleased to offer a new on demand streaming service called Kanopy. You’ll find independent, classic, international films and documentaries. Included are the Criterion Collection, the Great Courses and PBS. You can stream up to 5 videos a month. Create an account at Kanopy, using your Blackstone Library card. If you have any questions, call the Reference desk at 203-488-1441, ext. 318.
