[OPLINLIST] Eclipclaypse 2024!

[Maggie Noble]

We are going to be giving away glasses and hosting programs for children,
teens, and adults, as well as all ages programming. However, we are going
to be closed the day of the actual eclipse. One of my coworkers went to an
Eclipse Readiness meeting and there were primarily police officers, coast
guard, etc. because they are planning for this to be a disaster
preparedness level event for the community.
