Community Puzzle table

Posted by shenoys on

A Space to Create, Connect, and Relax

We’re excited to introduce the Community Puzzle table at the library starting Sep 1st. It is set up on the 2nd floor in the Large Print Room.  Stop by, add a piece, take a break, and enjoy the quiet. New puzzles coming after each one is complete! We will be posting a photo of the completed puzzle on our social media!

Our patrons have been busy puzzling! 🧩
Stop by the Community Puzzle Table and help with the next one — everyone’s welcome to add a few pieces!
