[Michlib-l] No glasses? Host a LIVE Stream Watch Party

[Lancaster, Catherine (MDE)]

Don't have #SolarEclipse2017 glasses? Host an Eclipse Watch Party with LIVE stream from NASA!
https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-live-stream
Pretty cool & safer on those eyes...

Don't forget, if your library is out of glasses, check out these other fun programming ideas to do with families! Such a great way to connect to those in your community that may not have used the library in the recent past:
* Check with a local shoe store to get boxes to have families make a shoebox viewer
* Offer supplies to do the Projection Method to view the sun - a simple & easy way!
* More resources: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-who-what-where-when...<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Feclipse2017.nasa.gov%2Feclipse-who-what-where-when-and-how&h=ATO8nPf6vtWk2qB0rIJa97a50VHDPVvOffOQ-NHhBQrBp7BzrQNGYGrBZavSGFSFpms6WdRLZFRuDIwIQDr-BBLnfAzucmENfSqZTsHQ8Hpo-chDPNQhF3-l3SUP_gDFGrUkCHGFp5U>

We libraries have so much more than glasses to offer.  :)
