From yarn to chess, New River Library offers ways to connect and learn

Thursday's gathering brings yarn enthusiasts together, while students can register for separate beginner and experienced-player chess sessions next week.

A shared project or a chessboard can be a starting point for meeting neighbors. New River Branch Library in Wesley Chapel has scheduled programs for people who want to exchange ideas, learn and spend time in the community.
