📌General Guidelines📌

All Ages Welcome – Players of all skill levels and ages are encouraged to join. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of play. We primarily focus our Chess discussions for children and beginners but more experienced adults/parents are encouraged to participate too.

Free and Open to the Public – No registration required.

Respect the Space – Please be courteous to others using the library.

Come When You Can – Arrive a few minutes early or late, or miss a few weeks? That is okay! We’re just happy to see you and we hope we capture your attention.

♟️Chess Etiquette♟️

Respect Your Opponent – Shake hands before and after each match. You can be a grandmaster of good sportsmanship.

We Are Here to Learn & Have Fun – There are no blunders in our Chess Club, only opportunities to learn. We do not keep rankings.

Use Club Boards Carefully – Please treat all library chess equipment with care. Report any damage to our club instructor, Mr. Bob or to a librarian.

Time Controls – If both players agree, games may be timed. Otherwise, all our games are casual and untimed.

Respect Our Library Staff and Our Chess Instructor – We’re here to help! Please follow any instructions given.

📅Meetings and Activities📅

How to Stay Updated – Any schedule changes (e.g., holiday closures) will be posted on the library’s website/calendar & our Facebook page. If you want weekly updates sent to your inbox please add your name to our Chess Club email list.
