Many activities are occurring during the month of November at the Carmel Clay Pubic Library (CCPL), including Chess U and the College Funding Seminar.
Chess U, a series of talks given by experienced chess players, will occur Nov. 17 in the Program Room. This month’s featured speaker is freshman Jeff Hou.
Young Adult (YA) librarian Jamie Beckman said, “Hou is an enthusiastic chess player and has dug deep into the art of chess. He has been playing for over eight years and has researched many aspects of chess to improve his own skills.”
Junior Michael Young, an avid chess player, said he plans to attend this event hosted by the library.
Young said, “I have been interested in chess from early on because it forces you to develop strategies and tactics if you want to win. I think attending Chess U will teach me new strategies to improve my chess-playing abilities.”
Besides Chess U, the College Funding Seminar will happen Nov. 18 at the library.
Beckman said, “These free seminars for parents are sure to fill up quickly.” She reminded students to register online at indycollegefunding.com or call 1-888-217-3190.
According to Beckman, this seminar will be presented by the Indy College Funding.
“(We hope) to provide the best service for Carmel’s teens that we can,” she said.
