Summer population explosion

We’re definitely into summer – 20+ showed up for chess club on Saturday, June 27.  There are all kinds of opportunities to play chess, and other games as well … Benjamin taught me Ninja King Cylinder Chess, and then crushed me in my first attempt at playing it.

Beginners are welcome – and fairly often we have someone available to work with them on learning the game.

This summer at chess club

The ACPL All Ages Chess Club meets Saturday mornings from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon in Young Adults’ Services on the second floor of the Main Library.  Come by and play some games!

It’s also worth mentioning that there are chess sets available in Young Adults’ Services during all hours that the library is open, and often there are people looking for a game at times other than the Chess Club meeting time.

This summer, besides the 12th Annual Young Adults’ Chess Tournament on Saturday, August 8, we’ll try to have an informal tournament or two at Chess Club as well.
