If you've ever wondered what Chelsea looks like from the bottom of a glass, we've got the program for you! On August 30th, Cary Church, local historian and Chelsea Area Historical Society Treasurer, will present a fascinating lecture about the history of pub culture in Chelsea. We'll learn about Chelsea's historical saloons, pubs, and Prohibition-era establishments. Chelsea has almost always had a bar or saloon in its downtown district! If you have photographs of the interior or exterior of local pubs and saloons or stories about these historic drinking establishments, let us know ahead of time-Cary Church would love to share your story during his presentation. You are also invited to bring your photos and stories to the lecture to share at the end of the evening. Join us! Tuesday, August 30th | 6-7:30pm | McKune Room | Register! |
Give the Gift of Life!  The Chelsea District Library has been partnering with the American Red Cross to host blood drives at the library and is pleased to announce our next drive on Wednesday, August 31st from 1:00 - 7:00pm in the library's McKune Room. We would like to encourage you to support this important effort. A single whole blood donation may help save the lives of up to three people. Every day, hospital patients need blood products such as red cells, platelets and plasma for the treatment of cancer and serious diseases, as well as for emergency and trauma care. Last year, nearly 5 million people needed blood transfusions. And that need, Red Cross officials say, will be constant as an aging population and advances in medical care place demands on the need for blood.
Without willing donors, the American Red Cross could not meet the blood needs at southeastern Michigan hospitals. Donating blood is easy, it costs you nothing- except a little of your time- and will give you a sense of pride and satisfaction that is beyond words. . Wednesday, August 31 | 1-7pm | McKune Room To schedule an appointment, visit www.redcrossblood.org and type in sponsor code "chelsealibrary". Tips for a successful donation! |
Fall Storytime  Join Miss Jackie and her puppet Rosie for storytime fun, with stories, songs, fingerplays and a craft. Miss Jackie brings more than 10 years of storytime experience to our library programs. A former preschool teacher and certified in Child Development and Parent Education, Jackie's love for children shows in her careful selection of "just the perfect" book to read to her 2-5 year old audience. "I like to focus on humor and emotional/social literacy in my storytimes," she says, "and really listen to the children as I believe every child has something important to say."
