Have you ever wanted to learn to play chess? Maybe you're totally new to the board... or maybe you know how the pieces move, but don't really have any strategies... either way, you're in luck! Join us at the College Ave branch for a six-week series on the basics of chess with Coach Michael! LEARN the foundational principles of the game, SOLVE chess puzzles that will teach winning strategies, and PLAY with other beginners to strengthen your skills! Come build critical thinking, confidence, and community through chess! (Registration is strongly encouraged, as each session will build off of previously-learned skills)
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
