    This is one of the very institutions that help me learn to read as I lived in Chelsea as a small…read moreboy kindergarten through eighth grade. When I was very young we used to gather in a circle in the library and would read to us that would be grades kindergarten through second we used to walk down as groups from my neighborhood just for the readings it was very exciting back then I wish more people read now I pray for future Generations. Glad to know the library is still open and going strong. Also notice the fabulous architecture it hasn't changed in 40 years although it's much much older than that. Many many many things have changed in Chelsea, but I'm very glad to see that the City Hall in public library have stayed the same.

    Customer service is five stars from the head librarian!…read more I walked in here one day, new to Chelsea and wanted to see my new library. The librarian immediately greeted me and welcomed me. He asked where I was from, how I got here, what I was looking for, etc. He told me he has been here for 30+ years and can answer about any question. He gave me a "tour" of the library, showing me where the computers, fiction, non-fiction, magazines, and movies were all located. The building itself is a circular shape which makes it odd for storing books. However, he assured me if they don't have it where I can find it, simply ask. They can also get anything from the Boston Public library circulation too, which is very helpful. I came in a second time several weeks later and the librarian greeted me and welcomed me back. The staff make it very easy for you to find what you need. I have not spent a ton of time here but did see people utilizing the computers and reading areas. I think it's a great part of the community--free for all! Check out their facebook too for special programming if you have kids!
