On Oct. 14, an annular solar eclipse will cross North America. An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth while it is at its farthest point from Earth. The sun is never completely covered. It is never safe to look directly at the sun without specialized eye protection. The library will be giving out 100 eclipse glasses.
The eclipse will be visible starting at 10:24 a.m., and it will reach its maximum at 11:52 a.m. and will end at 1:26 p.m.
Contact the Stanley Tubbs Memorial Library for more details. The library is located at 101 E Cherokee, Sallisaw. The phone number is 918-775-4481.
