Chess Club

Your family is invited to join the York Public Library for an afternoon of chess. Whether your child is picking up the game for the first time or already knows the basics, this club welcomes players of all skill levels and ages. You'll learn fundamental chess concepts like strategies and tactics, then put your knowledge to the test through one-on-one matches and group games. Registration isn't required to attend, but signing up will get you a text reminder about the program. This chess club ties into the library's broader commitment to social and emotional learning—skills like recognizing emotions, responding thoughtfully, and building respectful relationships naturally develop as kids play and interact with others over the board.
