Join us at the library for a fun and friendly Chess Club where children can practice their skills, learn from one another, and enjoy playing the game with fellow chess enthusiasts. Players of all experience levels are welcome! From beginners learning the basics to more experienced players looking for a challenge.
This is not a one-on-one tutoring or instructional program. Instead, it is a casual, supervised space where participants can play chess, meet new friends, and build confidence through friendly matches and shared enjoyment of the game.
Come sharpen your strategy, think a few moves ahead, and have fun at the board!

Rocket Quest: a Tween MakerSpaceClub
Maverick
Join us this Summer for adventures in space, as we explore the fantastic world of rockets and spacecraft. We'll be designing thrusters, encountering orbital flight mechanics and navigating by the stars as we use science, technology and creativity to overcome pesky challenges like gravity and momentum. Based on real-world concepts like inertia, thrust, drag, and gyroscopic balance, Rocket Quest will mix hands-on creation of prototypes and experimental play with a hefty dose of artistic action to fuel your own quest into the unknown!
