In the spring of 2026, Teen Chess Club was born. It is held every Tuesday evening from 5:30-7:00 in the Reference Room on the second floor of the Coy Public Library.
It was originally open to ages 10-18. However, some younger children have shown an interest and are happily included. The participants come to have fun and hone their chess skills. Colleen Moore, Children and Youth Services Director, oversees the program with enthusiasm, fosters a very welcoming environment, and teaches chess.

Pictured left to right are Wyatt (age 10) and Sawyer (age 7) Morrison, two brothers eagerly facing each other in a chess match.
