Saturday AM Chess Club!

Update:  by popular demand, this program will continue in January, after taking a break for December.

Who:  Anyone. Any age.

What:  Chess. Learn. Teach. Practice. Play.

Where:  Searsmont Town Library & Community Building.

When:  Saturdays 9-10am beginning in October.

Why?  Chess is a great tool for:

    • concentration

    • thinking ahead

    • considering variables

    • mental flexibility

    • insight

    • and learning how to lose with grace

 

This community program is offered for free.

 

The library currently owns 4 chess sets. If you bring your own, that is great too!

 

Games will not be timed, unless individuals wish to bring their own clock and agree upon its use.

 

An effort will be made to match players against opponents of similar experience, but it will be helpful for beginners to start playing against more experienced opponents to help facilitate learning the game.

Searsmont Seed Library 2025!

Spring is right around the corner! Seed catalogs arrive every day! As you're going through your stock, please consider donating your extra seeds to the Seed Library.

 

Borrow from our seed collection or donate your extra seed. Lots of heirloom varieties (especially beans) and shared seed from Fedco, Johnny's, Baker Creek, and more. Grow your own food: increase the region's food security.

By saving seeds as a community we help create local seed stocks that are better acclimated to our unique climate and which support an abundant and genetically diverse landscape.
