From preschool to professional, Plano Public Library (PPL) has something for everyone. Check out some of their upcoming events – in-person and virtual – for all your educating and entertaining needs:
- Play Dungeons & Dragons (grades 6-12)
The Adventure Gaming Club meets weekly on Fridays in June, from 2-4pm at Davis Library. Teens will learn the while playing as a warrior or mage in a fantasy world. Attend weekly for achievement-based bonuses. Space is limited, so get your free ticket 30 minutes before the program begins each session.
- Learn how to play chess (ages 13+)
Two of the newest programs this summer are Chess for Beginners and a monthly Chess Meet-Up! Both are for ages 13 and up.
Chess for Beginners meets on Saturday, June 8 from 3-4:30pm at Davis Library. Learn about the basics and history of chess, then play a few beginner games. Although some chess sets will be provided, you can bring your own sets too to learn.
Chess Meet-Up meets monthly on Wednesday from 6:30-8pm at Davis Library: June 19, July 17 and August 21. Take a moment to sit and play chess with other beginners.
- Live well in Plano (adults)
The second session of the Living Well series is presented by the Alzheimer’s Association: Health for Brain and Body. Join the library and Alzheimer’s Association via Zoom for a session on ways to improve or maintain overall health in these critical areas: cognitive activity, physical health and exercise, diet and nutrition, and social engagement.
You can catch the recording on this, and other Living Well sessions, on the library’s YouTube channel.
