Add to Calendar 2022-08-12 00:00:00 2022-08-12 23:59:00 America/New_York Puzzle Swap Swap your complete puzzle for a new-to-you challenge! James M. Duncan Jr. Branch Library -

Swap your complete puzzle for a new-to-you challenge!

Please place all the pieces in a resealable bag or envelope inside the puzzle box. This way, if the pieces accidentally spill out of the box, they will be easy to pick up. The puzzle swap is an ongoing opportunity, so come by any day, not just on Fridays.

Don't have a puzzle to deposit? Pick one up anyway, and when you're finished, bring it back to exchange for a different one!

Puzzles can be found in the periodicals area at Duncan Library.

Questions? Email Deborah Hirsch at dhirsch@alexlibraryva.org.
