If you're not sure where – or how – to get in on the solar eclipse craze, we're here to help.

Several libraries in the County will be hosting events, including:

Cornwall Public Library
Goshen Public Library
Port Jervis Free Library
Wallkill Public Library

If you're looking for a more intimate experience with the solar eclipse, make sure to do it safely. Make sure any glasses you use to view the eclipse have the designation ISO 12312-2. They should also have a manufacturer's name on them.

Orange County residents should expect to see roughly 70-75 percent of the total eclipse with the peak occurring around 2:44 p.m.
