Central Chess Club at J. Erik Jonsson Central Library: Nov. 14, 2026
You can join the Nov. 14 Central Chess Club without bringing a chess set: Dallas Public Library provides boards and pieces and welcomes people learning the game as well as those who already play. The listing describes chess play, but does not set out a lesson plan—a useful distinction for newcomers deciding what kind of instruction to expect.
A recurring club, not a complete calendar
The library describes the club as meeting every other Saturday. Its displayed occurrence list includes June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, Oct. 3, 17 and 31, Nov. 14, and Dec. 12, 2026. Because the list has gaps, it should not be treated as a full calendar or as proof of the series’ start or end dates.
The Nov. 14 event itself is listed for 1 to 3 p.m. at the Central Library’s public floor area on the third floor.

Check the age information before bringing a minor
The listing’s Adult (18+) category conflicts with its all-ages description, so it does not establish whether minors may attend.

A single stretch of chess play
The Nov. 14 listing gives one continuous session rather than separate timed activities. It welcomes both new and experienced players, with boards and pieces provided.
