Our Programs
Our weekly programs encapsulate our mission of providing accessible chess through libraries. Mainly for casual drop-in chess games, CITL programs are led by passionate volunteers dedicated to making chess a better game for everyone. CITL programs are always to be free, available for anyone wanting a good game of chess.
