<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">On August 21, 2017, a spectacular total eclipse of the Sun will be visible across the width of the continental U.S. for the first time since 1918. Every state will have at
least 60% of the Sun covered by the Moon, and lucky people on a narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina will see the stunning beauty of totality. <i>STAR_Net</i>’s <i>NASA@ My Library</i> initiative with support from NASA, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation,
Research Corporation, and Google, is distributing over 2 million solar viewing glasses and an Eclipse Education Kit to public libraries. Public libraries are invited to apply for solar viewing glasses and related educational materials! Find free resources
and links to the application, FAQ, and application questions at <a href="http://www.starnetlibraries.org/2017eclipse/">
http://www.starnetlibraries.org/2017eclipse/</a>. If you have not already completed your application to receive eclipse glasses, please join us for the following webinar with any questions about the application process, and to learn more about what your library
can already be doing to prepare for the August event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
