Chess Sets On The Way

I have taken the liberty to purchase chess sets for Uptown, Simmons and Northside. I understand Southwest has a set already.
This is a wonderful way to invite community connections.  Shimon is making table tents to display with the sets. As soon as they are ready, we will send the sets and table tents to each location. I know there is the risk of missing pieces and noise, but again, I encourage you to create an invitation to the community to engage this way. It's symbolic of the library's role as a community gathering place. And even if people don't engage with the set, they will see it as a symbol of our connection with them.
Jill has a strong relationship with a local chess club. Perhaps we can broaden that relationship and expand chess tournaments to all branches. Wouldn't that be fun?
