Solar Eclipse Glasses

Starting Monday, March 18th

A total solar eclipse will pass over North America, Monday, April 8th. While Detroit is not in the path of the total eclipse, it will see a deep partial eclipse. The only way to safely view the eclipse is with certified solar-viewing or eclipse glasses. The library has solar eclipse glasses and will be giving them out while supplies last.

To receive a pair of glasses you must have a Roseville library card in good standing. One pair of glasses per card.  Don’t have a library card? Not a problem. Come to the library to apply for a library card. There is no charge and the process just takes a few minutes.

We will start handing out solar eclipse glasses on Monday, March 18th.  Please come early to get your glasses as we have a limited supply.
