The President of the Westchester Amateur Astronomers, Karen Seiter, will give a timely lecture about eclipses Tuesday night at 7pm. Eleven days later, there will be a partial solar eclipse here where approximately 20% of the Sun will be covered by the moon. Next Spring, however, will be the big one. Although it will be a total eclipse in upstate New York, 90% of the Sun will be covered here. Looking directly at the Sun leads to blindness, so Ms. Seiter will also explain how to observe eclipses safely. At the end of the program, each participant will receive one pair of eclipse glasses.Read More Read More

The Library Board of Trustees recently updated the Library’s Mission Statement. You might want to take a look. This update is part of the Board’s ongoing work to systematically review all of the policies and statements that underpin the Library’s operations. Some of these, for example the Internet Policy, were outdated and needed to be substantially rewritten. Others, not so much. It should be noted that in the midst of this process, New York passed a law mandating the work: a process the Board had already begun.Read More Read More
