Chess Club for Kids!
Wednesdays at 4:30 PM
Welcome to Mystic Noank Library’s Chess Club! The club welcomes children grade 3 and up! We will be meeting on Wednesdays after school from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Children should know how the chess pieces move before their first visit. We teach chess strategy, chess sportsmanship, and organize games.
Sportsman-like conduct is always a goal. Members must be respectful of each other's play, and at the end of each game, win or lose, members must be cordial with one another.
Instructor:
Michael Grater, library associate and chess enthusiast, leads our Chess Club. He grew up playing chess and continues to play for fun. Chess is a great game that builds concentration, patience, planning, sportsmanship, and problem-solving skills in children, teens and adults.
All Things Pumpkin Magic Show with Magic by Ed Pop!
Saturday, October 5 @ 3:30pm
Registration not required!
Join us for a family magic show with Ed Pop. This magic show is a comedy show that uses a lot of audience participation. Kids are the stars because they make the magic happen. Ed doesn't just “do a trick”. He tells a story that revolves around each trick. It may be a short story or a longer one, but each story helps to bring the trick together. Every child who comes on “stage” to be a helper receives a souvenir! The show is appropriate for ages three and up.
Treats will be served by the Friends of the Mystic & Noank Library.
This program will meet on the library lawn, weather permitting or held upstairs in the Ames Room in case of inclement weather.
Should the program move indoors seating will be first come, first served until capacity is met.
