A few pair of solar eclipse glasses were handed out to patrons prior to August 14. Due to questionable certification, the Sun Prairie Public Library suggests patrons dispose of these glasses. We hope to have a limited supply of certified solar eclipse glasses by Friday, August 18 or Saturday, August 19.
