Kids Grades 3-5 Can Learn to Play Chess at Fairfield Library

Fairfield, Conn. - Do you have children entering Grades 3-5 that might like to learn how to play chess? Or they already know how but need some extra practice? All skill levels are welcome at the Library’s Monday Chess Club this summer. Ethan Wolf, a chess champion and high school student, will lead the program. The sessions will be held on Mondays, June 26 through August 14 (no class July 3), meeting from 5:00 to 6:00 pm in the Children’s Program Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road. 

This is a drop-in program for children entering grades 3-5. No registration is required, but attendance is limited to 20 participants. Tickets are distributed at 4:30 pm, a half hour before the program starts. 

And don't forget to sign up your children for this year’s summer reading program, “Build a Better World.” Kids will receive a raffle ticket and a prize for every 200 minutes they read! In addition, there are community-building activities kids can do to earn raffle tickets, too. There will be raffle prize drawings at the Main and Fairfield Woods Branch Libraries every week, plus special events all summer long.

All programs at the Fairfield Public Library are free. For more information on Summer Reading and other programs, visit: fairfieldpubliclibrary.org or call 203-256-3160. Follow the Fairfield Public Library on Twitter @fairfieldpublib and Facebook @fairfieldlibrary.
