Chess for Children at the Ukiah Library

Starting on Tuesday, February 9th, the Children’s Library, with Charlene Light, will be hosting a six week chess experience for children ages 7 to 17. We realize that mostly home schooled children will be able to participate, but this will be a start. Younger children are welcome if they already know the rudiments of the game and have the concentration needed to participate.


The session will be from 1:00 to 2:00 and will begin with a short lesson on how to play chess, chess strategies and more. All levels are welcome, from beginners to those with loads of experience. Some experienced players have offered to help the beginners learn to get acquainted with the game.


Please call Charlene Light at 707 498-3362 or email her at charlight@sbcglobal.net for further information or questions you may have.
