Events › Chess Club for Kids

Interested in learning to play chess? Join us for weekly chess games and instructions at the North End Branch Library. Please note there is no Chess Club on February 16, 2026.

No prior chess experience is necessary. This Chess Club is designed for kids to practice and learn. 

Recommended for 2nd - 6th graders; caregivers are welcome to join their youth if they wish.

Children must have an adult present at the library.

Children should never be left entirely unattended in the library building, per the BPL's Safe Child Policy.

Accessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible. To request a disability accommodation and/or language services, contact the department listed in the "Contact Info." Please allow at least two weeks to arrange accommodation.

Programming at the Boston Public Library is funded through private support. To learn more about supporting the Library, please visit the Boston Public Library Fund's website: https://bplfund.org/
