BUCKEYE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM

Chess Club

Checkmate at the Library! Join Buckeye Public Library’s Chess Club

The Buckeye Public Library invites students, families, and chess enthusiasts of all skill levels to participate in our Library Chess Club, held every Thursday at 4:00 PM at the Coyote Library.

Why Join?
Chess is more than just a game—it’s a powerful tool that builds critical thinking, problem-solving, and patience while fostering a sense of community and mentorship. Whether you're just learning how to move the pieces or preparing for competitive play, our club offers a welcoming and structured environment for all.

How It Works
♟️ Mentor/Student Learning Structure – New players will be paired with experienced mentors, creating a supportive environment for learning and growth.
♟️ Weekly Meet-Ups – Every Thursday, we focus on a new chess move or concept, followed by an engaging activity where participants analyze a game in progress and figure out how to checkmate in the fewest moves.

Who Can Join?
All ages and skill levels welcome – whether you're new to the game or an experienced player!
No registration required – just drop in and play!

Get Involved!
Encourage your students, children, or friends to join us and be part of this growing chess community. Educators and parents are also welcome to observe and support their learners.
