Jacaranda Community Chess Game


Did you notice the chessboard hanging on the south wall of the Reference Department at Jacaranda Library? It displays the ongoing game between Library Manager Greg Carlson and the Jacaranda Library community.

You can play, too! Here's how:

  • Greg makes a move. Then, the community--that's you--has a week to suggest a move. 
  • You can suggest a move in person at the reference desk or by emailing Jacaranda Librarian Tamar Wolfe at twolfe@scgov.net, put "Chess Move" in the email subject line.**
  • Votes are tallied on Mondays, and the most popular move is chosen. Greg responds with his move Tuesday morning.

Even if you aren't a chess player...yet!...you can just watch the game and cheer the combatants.
