Fresno County Public Library - Your Library Card

Join us and libraries across the country to celebrate! Help us reach our goal of creating 2,000 new library cards throughout the month of September. Participate in the Fresno Library Club Bingo Challenge or attend a library program to earn a free pair of solar eclipse glasses (while supplies last).

Two solar eclipses are coming to North America!

Annular Solar Eclipse, Saturday, October 14, 2023- begins in Oregon at 9:13 am PDT and ends in Texas at 12:03 pm CDT

Total Solar Eclipse, Monday, April 8, 2024

Use appropriate eye protection!

Traditional eyewear (sunglasses, eyeglasses with tinted lenses, etc.) are not sufficient to shield your eyes during a solar eclipse. The only safe ways to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun are through eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewers manufactured to international safety standards. Learn more about safety during the eclipse here.

SEAL

The Fresno County Public Library has received solar eclipse glasses from the Space Science Institute, through its Solar Activities for Libraries (SEAL) program.

To receive your solar viewing glasses, while supplies last, attend one of our Library Card Sign Up Month programs or complete the Beanstack Bingo challenge.
