Did you know that we have jigsaw puzzles to loan here at the library? We have puzzles that are 300 pieces and puzzles that are 1000 pieces, and some that number in between, so there is something for everyone. These are loaned out for three weeks, which is plenty of time for even the most challenged puzzler. We also usually have a puzzle going and it is fun to see folks from littles to octogenarians taking some time to try to get a few pieces in place.

Suzan and I have been known to spend lunch hours bent over the latest puzzle seeing how many pieces we can find and good-naturedly challenging one another to see who can find the most the fastest! We also take donations of puzzles, so remember us when you are cleaning out your game and puzzles cabinet. Bear in mind that the next Friends Book and Bake sale is our Cabin Fever sale (Saturday, Feb. 8, blizzard date Saturday, Feb. 15) which includes games and puzzles. We would happily accept any games and puzzles you wish to donate to the cause.

Fourth in a series. Watch for more great stuff from the library.
