Jigsaw Puzzle Swap

When
-
Where
Community Room

Looking for some new (to you) jigsaw puzzles? Bring your old puzzles to swap with other puzzlers! We do have a few guidelines to make the event successful and enjoyable for all:

  1. Swap like puzzles (500pc for a 500pc, 1,000pc for a 1,000pc, etc), unless both parties agree to a different arrangement.
  2. Only one-for-one trades, unless both parties agree to a different arrangement. This also means you need to bring puzzles in order to take puzzles.
  3. All puzzles must be in original box/container.
  4. Please note on the puzzle's box, to the best of your knowledge, if any pieces are missing.
  5. You can swap directly with other participants, or add/take puzzles from the "free for all" pile.
  6. Any left over puzzles not removed by the end of the event will be donated to the library's yearly book sale.

No registration is required. Just stop by with your puzzles!
