Get ready for the big event! All Ages are welcome to create their own solar eclipse viewer using cereal boxes. Younger children (preschool and younger) will need to be accompanied by an adult. Adults can sign up to create a solar eclipse viewer too! All materials will be supplied.
We will also share information about eye safety and other interesting facts about eclipses. Come and join the fun!
The Lawrence Branch opened in 1967 on North Franklin Road in a storefront previously occupied by the Lawrence Post Office. It was the first branch to open within an incorporated town in Marion County. Rapid population growth demonstrated the need for a larger, permanent facility to serve the northeast side. A 3.44 acre site was purchased from MSD Lawrence Township for a new 13,500-square-foot library that opened in 1983.
Renovated in 2020, the Lawrence Branch re-opened to changes that maximized access to the Library’s services and collections, created engaging and functional spaces for those of all ages, and increased access to new technology. The project also provided group study and tutoring areas, improved lighting, more outlets for charging stations, and updates to the entrance, public restrooms and interior finishes.
