The Chess Club, is a warm, inviting, and entertaining environment in which to play one of the most strategic games ever created. The one game that stretches for every bit of knowledge you possess, reaches for it in order to outplay your opponent. Chess is one of the most fun and brain-testing sports out there, and we invite you to give it a try.
Whether you are a state champion or someone who has never touched a rook in their life, we can guarantee a great learning experience and challenging opponents.
Join us to enhance your knowledge of the game through casual tournaments and fun scrims, and meet others who share similar interests. We hope to see you there!
The Rathbun Memorial Library is excited to present the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Families are invited to join this fun and exciting new program. The 1,000 Books Program is a wonderful way to start your child on the path to success and the joy of reading.
This nationwide program encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000 book goal in three years and provide their children essential early literacy skills.
Stop by the Rathbun Library to register, and pick up your program materials and free gift.
