Title
Handwritten note by Titi, Skokie Public Library Solar Eclipse Party Time Capsule, August 21, 2017
Description
Handwritten on 4 x 6 index card in pencil by Titi for the Skokie Public Library Solar Eclipse Party Time Capsule. Just after noon on Monday, August 21, 2017, the Skokie, Illinois community joined others across the United States in viewing the astronomical event of the year: the solar eclipse. The library provided 300 free, safe viewing glasses for participants—a number dwarfed by the 1,123 people who ultimately participated. Participants were invited to write notes for watchers of the next solar eclipse to take place in the continental United States on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Transcript of card: “On this solar eclipse 08/21/2017, I am so happy to be with my family from New Jersey (my sister and two nieces). I hope we will be together again for the next solar eclipse on 04/08/2024. Love, Titi”
