Mid-County Library Hosts Chess Club

The Mid-County branch of the St. Louis Country libraries hosts a Chess Club every Tuesday. The club attracts players from a wide array of backgrounds, from middle-aged university professors to neighborhood children. There are no restrictions, people who wish to learn how to play chess are welcome to come in and learn from the pros.

Not many CHS students know of this grand opportunity to play chess or learn how to play chess. If interested, give the Mid-County library a visit from 4 to 5:30 every Tuesday.

Not only is the chess club a great way to get to know more people in the Clayton community, but players have the chance of improving their skills and challenging their minds.
