This program is for children of all ages who want to learn to play or improve their chess moves and play in tournaments. Our chess instructor will teach the chess players how to think and plan their next move and use their brain power to win. Come and join our chess group and learn to make a risky move, check and have fun. This program is made possible by the Friends of the Cleveland Park Library.

Sing, play, dance and learn. That’s our motto for this program. Children of all ages will have the opportunity to play musical instruments, sing along with popular songs, dance to their favorite music, and learn the alphabet and how to count. This program is all about rhythm and speech stimuli that allow children to enjoy music.

These 20-to-30-minute story times are full of books, songs, rhymes and finger plays for children ages birth to 2 years old. Our Baby and Toddler Story Time is a great way to introduce your child to language skills in a positive and fun environment. With slightly more activity and movement than our lap times, children and their grownups are encouraged to engage with the books and songs and to actively participate in the program.

Ed doesn’t have a lot going for him– he’s a cab driver without much of a life. He’s terrible at playing cards, can count his friends on one hand, and is pretty much alone in the world, with the exception of his dog, the Doorman. When Ed accidentally becomes a local hero, he begins receiving weird assignments in the form of playing cards. Should he choose to accept his mission, what will happen to his ordinary, slightly below-average life? And, what is the message he’s delivering to the people he’s been sent to help?
