ADAMS, Mass. — Adams Free Library will offer an evening of guided lessons for how to solve the classic Rubik's Cube. 

 

The program is part of the 2025 Summer Reading Program – Level Up at Your Library. Space is limited; registration is required (413) 743-8345.

 

The program will be led by Ric Donati who is a local hobbyist with a passion for solving the Rubik's Cube. Donati competed at the Rubik's Cube World Championships, organized his own competitions, and has taught the solutions to 5th and 6th graders at Williamstown Elementary for their Adventures in Learning programs. Donati and his team will give a brief presentation on the cube, the world of competitions, and some fun facts, and then jump into teaching how to solve the cube using the "beginner method."

 

This special event is sponsored by the Adams Lions Club as part of their celebration of their 85th anniversary of receiving their charter. 

 

"The Rubik's Cube is a classic puzzle that has stumped so many players, including myself," said Emily Brannan, Children's Librarian. "I am excited to bring Donati's expertise and guided lessons to the Adams Community. I think this will be a fun and engaging program for all family members," said Brannan.
