Join library staff from across the state to share ideas and resources related to programming around the total eclipse that will happen on Monday, April 8, 2024.

We will also be joined by the following guests who will provide information about the eclipse for the first 30 minutes:

• Max Kennedy, Planning Section Chief with the Department of Public Safety, will present a brief overview of the path and timing of the total eclipse in Vermont, tourist, and travel information, as well as guidance and resources from the State of Vermont. You can review guidelines and resources on the new State of Vermont Eclipse page.
