Local Resources for Chessplayers, Teachers, Parents, and Students

The Charles H. Gere Branch Library ( 2400 South 56th Street) has a very active chess program. See http://www.lincolnlibraries.org/ (library phone: 441-8560) ; contact Jim Walla

The Nebraska State Historical Society library in downtown Lincoln (1500 R Street) holds the archives for Nebraska State Chess Association. This includes past copies of the Gambit and other state chess publications as well as numerous historical documents relating to Nebraska chess. See http://www.nebraskahistory.org/lib-arch/

National Resources

There are hundreds of well-stocked providers of chess equipment and paraphenalia across the nation. The USCF (www.uschess.org) is an obvious option. Rather than favor one retailer over another, we suggest using a search engine, using, for example, 'chess equipment' (or something tailored to your specific needs).
