The McKune House, on the left, and larger new addition on the rear.

Alternately known as the "McKune Memorial Library" and the "Chelsea District Library", this institution has recently returned to downtown Chelsea. The library has been located in the McKune House since 1958, but decided in the late 1990s that this building was both too small for its needs and in need of significant renovations. The district library moved to the Old Chelsea High School's library for several years, while the funding and construction of an addition was coordinated, including the clean-up of a contaminated lot next door to McKune that had previously been a gas station. While some members of the community felt the library should stay at the high school site, the library board was committed to returning to downtown. The new downtown library opened on November 12, 2006, with the McKune House converted to meeting and event space.

The library district includes the city of Chelsea, and all or part of Sylvan, Lyndon, Lima Township, and Dexter Townships.
