Geochron ClockThe North Branch is home to the Geochron clock, which indicates where the sun is shining at any given moment. The left edge of the clock's pattern marks the moment of sunrise, while the right marks sunset. This sunrise and sunset pattern changes continually, as the seasons progress throughout the year. The clock was a gift from the Friends of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library.
