We are excited to announce the establishment of our new Chess Library, which is now available for all members. If you’d like to borrow or check out any of the books listed below, simply reach out to Liam Farrell at:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 086-2784319
Liam will ensure the book is brought to the club the following Wednesday evening.
Additionally, if you have chess books you don’t regularly use, please consider lending or donating them to the library. A number of members have already contributed generously, and we hope the library will be a valuable resource for all members, providing both enjoyment and improvement in their chess journey.
