CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Ben F. McDonald Library was chosen to participate in the NASA@ My Library program, one of only 49 libraries selected nationwide.
The initiative will help outfit the library, located at 4044 Greenwood Dr., with bilingual materials ahead of the annular solar eclipse Oct. 14.
The supplies include:
- bilingual solar science kits with portable reflector telescopes
- two wood telescopes called sun spotters to project the eclipse on a screen
- a "Moonbear Shadow" book and activity, which will be read during a bilingual story time from 11-11:30 a.m. Oct. 13
The program is sponsored by the National Center for Interactive Learning at the Space Science Institute, the ALA Public Programs Office, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), and the Education Development Center (EDC), and is based on work done by NASA.
