Please Note: All Charles County Public Library branches are out of solar eclipse glasses. We apologize for any inconvenience.

There is a total solar eclipse coming up on Monday, April 8, 2024!

The Charles County Public Library has obtained free solar eclipse glasses to give to the members of our community! 

When: Monday, April 1, 2024 through Monday, April 8, 2024, while supplies last. 

Where: Any CCPL branch, including the Mobile Library.

How: Ask staff at the main service desk. Eclipse Glasses will be available on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last. We will not hold glasses for anyone to pick up at a later time.  

or

Attend one of our Eclipse programs! Eclipse Pinhole Boxes @ Waldorf West Branch 4/6 @ 10am and Solar Eclipse Party @ Potomac Branch 4/8 @ 2pm. Each participant will receive 1 pair of glasses.  

Limits: 1 per person or 4 per family, while supplies last. 

Charles County will not be in the path of 100% totality, so we will not be able to see a complete total solar eclipse. However, we will be able to see a maximum of 85.9% of coverage so it will still be well worth watching. The eclipse will start in Charles County at 2:04 pm and end at 4:32 pm with maximum coverage occurring at 3:20 pm.
