Human Chess

4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Margaret E. Heggan Free Public Library
Meeting Room (Entire)
William Shakespeare's 460th birthday is this year. To celebrate, come brush up your Shakespeare and participate in our human chess tournament.

Whether you play chess or not, come and take part in our scripted and unscripted matchups. Learn the chess moves from our chess mater teens, learn some basic fencing moves, and even a little Shakespeare-speak. 

Weather permitting this program will be outside; otherwise, we'll be in the Meeting Room. No registration is necessary; come join the fun!
