Community Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge


A patron has donated a 42,000 piece puzzle to the library! We are going to set it out in our 3rd Floor Lecture Hall and see how much of it we can get done.


Can we do it? The puzzle comes in 7 sections and ultimately stretches 25 feet. We will be putting out 2-3 sections at a time.


Drop in any time the library is open and contribute your skills! 

Bring a friend (or 5) because this is going to take a community to make it happen!


The puzzle will be out from Monday, January 5th through Saturday, January 17th.
