Welcome Back, Teens!  The Chelsea District Library is eager to start the new school year and welcomes students to use the library and its resources. The library is committed to providing an atmosphere of courtesy, respect and excellent service for all patrons who come in our doors.
We would especially like to ensure that students have a safe and pleasant environment for after school study and group work. On the first day of school, any student entering the library was given a bookmark outlining rules and conduct and highlighting available activities for students. We are encouraging teens using the library to engage in an activity, be it reading, working on a computer, studying, playing a board game, or engaging in a meaningful creative pursuit. If you need suggestions, please pick up a bookmark at any Information Desk or ask a staff member. Welcome back and have a great school year! |
Medical Marijuana:
the good, the bad, the ugly?  On November 4, 2008, Michigan voters approved the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, providing protections for the use of medical marijuana in the state. As the law has taken effect, issues have arisen for both the law enforcement and the medical communities. There are still questions about the safety of using marijuana, especially for teens and young adults. The Chelsea District Library has invited a panel of local and national experts to speak about the issues of medical marijuana, and take audience questions. See our list of panelists.

Biggest Loser Contestant Kicks Off
Chelsea Reads Together
 | Ron and Mike Morelli,
Biggest Loser, season 7 contestants |
October is Chelsea Reads Together month and kicks off with a keynote by Biggest Loser, season 7 contestant, Ron Morelli. Obesity had been a constant struggle for every member of the Morelli family. A turning point came when Ron and his 18-year-old son Mike became contestants on NBC's hit weight loss show the Biggest Loser season 7. Ron and Mike were one of the last two teams in the competition and Mike went on to win runner-up in the show's finale. Back at home in South Lyon, Michigan, the Morelli family challenged themselves to break their bad habits and take up a more active, healthy lifestyle. Join us to hear their story.
