Hi all! I am looking to start a chess club at the Fair Haven library for kids/tweens. We have had some interest and currently have a group of kids that come in to play every afternoon.

I haven't set up any time or days yet, so I could definitely work that out with anyone who would be interested. 

Please feel free to contact me either at sandra@nhfpl.org or at…

The second year of the revived block party kicked off Saturday,…
