Mahjong social, Toronto City Hall Library

Toronto Public Library – City Hall

On Friday 11 December the City Hall branch of the Toronto Public Library, inside Nathan Phillips Square at 100 Queen Street West, hosts a Mahjong Social. The listing invites you to enjoy an afternoon playing this ancient game of skill, strategy, calculation and a little luck, and states that beginners are welcome. Mahjong is played by four people at a table with tiles, which makes it an easy game to join as a newcomer, because you are seated with others from the first minute and learn by watching a few rounds. The branch sits in the middle of downtown, next to the City Hall square and a short walk from the subway, so it is easy to reach on a lunch break or after an errand. It is a calm, sociable way to spend two hours on a Friday afternoon and to meet people from across the city. The social starts at 13:00 and ends at about 15:00. The listing does not state a price, so check the official page before going. «Mahjong Social» Starts 13:00, ends about 15:00. Source: Toronto Public Library events.

Mystery book club, Toronto City Hall Library

Toronto Public Library – City Hall

On Wednesday 23 December the City Hall branch of the Toronto Public Library, inside Nathan Phillips Square at 100 Queen Street West, hosts its Mystery Book Club. The listing invites you to join a group of mystery lovers for informal discussions. There is no set book each month, so you can come and share your favourite books and learn about new authors, which means you can attend without having read anything in advance. It is a very easy way to find the next crime novel or detective series to read over the holidays, and a good way to meet fellow readers in the middle of downtown. The branch is a short walk from the subway and the shopping streets, so it fits easily into a day of errands before the holidays, and the one-hour format is relaxed. Bring a title you loved, or simply come to listen. The club starts at 13:00 and ends at about 14:00. The listing does not state a price, so check the official page before going. «Mystery Book Club» Starts 13:00, ends about 14:00. Source: Toronto Public Library events.

Saturday drop-in chess, Gerrard/Ashdale Library, Toronto

Toronto Public Library – Gerrard/Ashdale

On Saturday 16 January the Gerrard/Ashdale branch of the Toronto Public Library, on Gerrard Street East, runs its Saturday Chess Club. The listing says people meet on the second floor every Saturday for a few games of chess in a welcoming environment, and that all ages and all levels are welcome. Because the club is open to families, children have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and unsupervised people under 18 cannot take part. The club runs from 13:00 to 16:00, which lets you arrive when it suits you and stay for as many games as you like. Chess is a good game for arriving alone: you can walk up to a board, ask for a game, and find an opponent of about your strength within minutes. The listing does not state a price, so check the official page before going. «Saturday Chess Club» Starts 13:00, ends about 16:00. Source: Toronto Public Library events.
