Our game evenings are great for kids and adults to put aside their blue screens on cell phones and tablets and have fun in a social setting. The game of chess improves concentration, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills, and teaches valuable lessons in risk and reward. Play a calculated but risky move, and it may lead to a quick win or a rapid loss. Chess is recognized as an activity that can help preserve memory and cognitive skills. It teaches all players an important lesson: Success comes from accumulating small advantages. It's one of the secrets of life!

Chess boards will be provided at the library. We look forward to seeing you there and making new friends over a game of chess!

6:30 pm: Monday Lecture Series- Lloyd Muller presents Turkey- The Crossroads Between Europe and Asia


March 23, 2026

TURKEY – THE CROSSROADS BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA

Turkey’s long history and cultural significance make it one of the world’s great

crossroads. Turkey stood at the center of world-changing empires! It became a

core region of the Roman and Byzantine Empires, shaping Christianity, law and art

across Europe and Asia. Turkey’s geography fostered a remarkable blend of

languages, faith and traditions. Join Dr. Muller for a look at this fascinating country

where he lived and worked.

 

SPEAKER:  Dr. Lloyd Muller was a career US Air Force officer whose assignments took

him around the world meeting new people and cultures. He is a thirty-year veteran

of two wars having served in both Viet Nam and Desert Storm.  He draws his inspiration

from living in the ancient lands for many years during assignments representing

The United States.
