Program Description

Calling all knights of the square table! 

Come to the Children's Department for an informal chess drop-in event. Bring a friend to play with or come to meet a new checkmate (Ha ha)! The library will provide a limited number of chess sets for patrons to use. Please feel free to bring your own chess set and board. This program is perfect for kids ages 5-11 and their caregivers. All levels of chess skills are welcome!

Hearing Device Assistance

To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
