March 27, 2024: On April 8th, parts of New York State will experience a solar eclipse. This is a rare occurrence. In fact, according to New York Governor Hochul, this is the first solar eclipse over New York State in 99 years.
According to Governor Hochul, the eclipse “will encompass 29 counties in the western and northern parts of New York State.” The photo below shows the path of the total eclipse in New York State.
While Bronxville is not in the specific path of the eclipse, the Governor says that "for other areas of the state that are outside the path of totality, there will still be 88 percent to over 99 percent coverage."
According to Hochul, the eclipse will “encompass the western and northern parts of New York State” from around 3:15 to 3:30.
There are a number of eclipse gatherings across the state. Click here to learn more.
The Governor reminded New Yorkers to wear protective eye gear to view the eclipse.
What causes a Solar Eclipse?
According to NASA Science a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. By doing so, the Moon blocks the Sun’s light and casts a shadow on part of the Earth.
NASA Science says the following about a solar eclipse: “The Moon’s shadow creates a trail as Earth rotates. This trail is called the path of totality. If you want to experience total darkness during an eclipse, you have to be in the path of totality. In that path, the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s light for a few minutes. It gets so dark that it looks like night time during a full Moon!”
When the Moon blocks part of the Sun’s light, it’s called a partial solar eclipse. When the Moon blocks all of the Sun’s light, it’s called a total solar eclipse.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
