January 6, 2025

Canceled 12/6/25 due to Winter Storm Warning  -  snow makeup day is Wednesday 12/8/25 6-8 pm!

Join us for an engaging and educational evening at our weekly Chess Club! Held every Monday evening from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Fendrick Library, this club is open to all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced players.

Under the expert guidance of Neil Coleman, participants will have the opportunity to learn new strategies, improve their game, and enjoy friendly competition. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting, this club offers a supportive and welcoming environment for everyone.

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!

Please bring your own chess board if you have one, or use the boards provided by the library. We look forward to seeing you there and making new friends over a game of chess!

Cloud Cuckoo Land: A Novel By Anthony Doerr Cover Image

Five protagonists dwell in the heart of Cloud Cuckoo Land: Anna and Omeir, on opposite sides of the city walls during the 1453 siege of Constantinople; teenage idealist Seymour and octogenarian Zeno in an attack on a public library in present-day Idaho; and Konstance, on an interstellar ship bound for an exoplanet, decades from now. Like Marie-Laure and Werner in All the Light We Cannot See, Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders who find resourcefulness and hope in the midst of peril. A book written in ancient Greek—the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky—provides solace and mystery to these unforgettable characters.

Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own. He has created a tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and those who will be here after we’re gone.

Dedicated to “the librarians then, now, and in the years to come,” Cloud Cuckoo Land is a paean to the extraordinary human capacity to transmit stories from generation to generation and a novel about stewardship—of books, of our shared planet, and of the human heart.
