Here’s another spot you can drop off your eclipse glasses for redistribution!
All Elgin County Library locations will be accepting used eclipse glasses until April 27th, at which time they will be sent to Astronomers Without Borders who provide glasses to communities and schools around the world for use during future solar eclipses.
For those in St. Thomas, Myrtle Shop on Talbot Street is also collecting eclipse glasses until the end of the month.
The library does remind residents that if you did want to hang on to your eclipse viewers, the next partial solar eclipse visible from Elgin County will be on May 29, 2025!
The complete list of library locations and hours can be found here.
