Meet outside the library for a partial view of the solar eclipse that will cross parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada on April 8, 2024. For all ages.

A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and earth at such an angle that the moon completely covers the sun and blocks out its light.

Special protective glasses will be provided to view the eclipse without damaging your eyes. Also, children can participate in an eclipse-themed art activity and learn about the phenomenon with a wide array of books and items to check out.

About the branch

The library was established in February of 1969 in honor of Congressman Chet Holifield, 19th District (served 1943-1974). The library primarily serves the residents of south Montebello. In January 2011, the library reopened after a year-long refurbishment project.
