North Little Rock’s Laman Library and the Central Arkansas Library System will be offering free eclipse sunglasses now until the April 8 eclipse, or at least until supplies run out.
Given that Laman LIbrary has 22,400 pairs of eclipse glasses to distribute, running out anytime doesn’t seem likely,
The glasses were provided to CALS and Laman libraries through the Arkansas State Library system as they sent free eclipse glasses to every library in the state.
Distribution of the eclipse glasses has already begun.
"We are grateful for the Arkansas State Library's generous donation and are thrilled to be able to offer free eclipse glasses to our community for this spectacular event," said Laman Library executive director Crystal Gates in a press release.
It isn’t just glasses either. Laman Library is having two free, family events in April to help prepare for the April 8 eclipse.
The first is dubbed, the “Solar Eclipse Survival Kits: Family Evening” and will start at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3. It will be held at the downtown library branch at 420 Main St. and will cover the proper use of eclipse glasses for children and adults.
The second is the following day and is called, “tEclipse Readiness Night at Laman.” It will start at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 4 and be at the main library, 2801 Orange St.
It will also cover how to safely use the eclipse glasses as well as trivia and the intriguingly named, Big Eclipse Energy in The Loft.
