July 20th is International Chess Day and to celebrate we are hosting our second annual chess tournament. This year the competition will take place at the Claremont Branch with all ages and levels of experience welcome. There will be three separate ages categories, Youth, Young Teen and Adults.
The Youth and Young Teen sections will play between 11am-1:30pm and the Adult Section, 2pm-5:30pm.
Teens: are you a plant person (or dream of becoming one)? Join us for an afternoon with PlanterDay! We will be decorating pots and repotting plants. Everyone gets to take home their own plant.
Planterday is an Oakland-based, mission-driven plant shop dedicated to destigmatizing mental health and promoting mental health resources.
